Netflix’s Magic: The Gathering series is called Planeswalker, due in 2027

Netflix has shown a first look at Planeswalker, its cartoon adaptation of the Magic card game, and says it will arrive on the service in 2027.

Key points

  • Netflix has named its Magic: The Gathering animated series Planeswalker.
  • The first-look video went up on 13 November.
  • The service says the show arrives in 2027, with no exact date.

Netflix has given its Magic: The Gathering cartoon a name and a first glimpse. The animated series is called Planeswalker, and the streamer says it is coming to Netflix in 2027, with no month attached yet.

The reveal came on 13 November as a short video on Netflix’s own X account, which calls it a first look at the cartoon adaptation of the Magic card game. The post opens with the line “Every great story begins with a spark”, a nod to the fire-magic imagery in the clip, which shows a young woman holding a flame in her open palm under a night sky.

The announcement video is the first footage Netflix has shown under the Planeswalker title. Netflix’s wording is “Coming to Netflix in 2027”, so the show is not a late-2026 release. The post gives a release year only: it names no premiere date, episode count, voice cast or director.

The clip is embedded above, and it is the only thing Netflix has released so far: there is no trailer with a story outline, no list of characters and no word on how many seasons are planned, so fans of the card game have little to go on beyond the title and the look of the animation.

Netflix is one of the streaming services available in Pakistan, so readers here will be able to look for the series on their existing accounts when it arrives. The year to mark is 2027, and the next piece of news to watch for is a premiere date from Netflix.
