Netflix is moving the release date of its anticipated Narnia movie from director Greta Gerwig.

Gerwig’s adaptation of the sixth book in the C.S. Lewis fantasy series, The Magician’s Nephew, was set to be released in Imax theaters this Thanksgiving before heading to the streamer on Christmas Day. The movie will now be getting a release on Feb. 12, 2027 and then will hit on Netflix April 2, 2027. (Sneak previews will begin on February 10, 2027, only in Imax.)

With the move comes the news that the streamer is planning a wide theatrical release.

While The Magician’s Nephew is the sixth book in Lewis’ series, it is the first chronologically, and focuses on the creation of Narnia.

The movie stars Emma Mackey, Cary Mulligan, Meryl Streep and Daniel Craig star in the movie, with Mackey as the White Witch, Mulligan as Mabel Kirke, Streep voicing Aslan and Craig playing the uncle. The young cast includes David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell.

Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal and Vincent Sieber are among the producers of the adaptation.

More to come.
