Netflix has an animated Magic: The Gathering series on the way

Netflix has announced a new animated TV series based on the long-running collectible card game (and sometimes video game) Magic: The Gathering.

The new series comes from animation studio Bardel Entertainment (known for the likes of Rick and Morty, and Teen Titans Go!), with Avengers: Infinity Wars and Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo serving as executive producers.

The Russos will work alongside series lead writers Henry Gilroy (Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Jose Molina (The Tick, Agent Carter) to create a new storyline based on the 25-year-old card game's expansive lore, focussing on the Planeswalkers - individuals with the ability to travel between the various planes that make up the Magic universe.
