Greta Gerwig’s The Chronicles of Narnia reboot might adapt all of C.S. Lewis’ books as IMAX CEO Richad Gelfond has teased Netflix’s epic franchise plan. Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia movie is expected to be the first of two films, adapting C.S. Lewis’ fantasy book series of the same name. The first installment will have a two-week run in IMAX theaters when it’s released on Thanksgiving Day 2026, before the movie arrives on Netflix in December of that same year. So far, no story details about the new movie have been revealed.
Speaking with Deadline, however, Gelfond seemingly confirmed Netflix’s plans to adapt all of Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia books into movies. The IMAX CEO said the streaming service has plans for eight movies, which is one more than the number of books in the series. His statement doesn’t definitively reveal Netflix’s long-term plans, as he doesn’t work for the streaming platform. However, it does indicate the streaming service might have plans that go far beyond Gerwig’s confirmed two-picture deal. Check out what Gelfond had to say below:
This was a really great movie [for us] because I think there are like eight movies planned … and what Imax does best is launch franchises and launch events, [and] this is the kind of movie that is very conducive to an Imax release. It’s also not as unusual as you think.
More to come…
