C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books are being retold on Netflix with new movies and TV series. Disney originally tried their hand at bringing The Chronicles of Narnia to life over a decade ago. They produced two big screen adventures in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. The first film was a massive hit with close to a $750 million worldwide gross, but the sequel dropped significantly to $419M. Fox then acquired the distribution rights for the third installment, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which only made $415M worldwide. Since then, Fox has been redeveloping the IP with Joe Johnston set to direct The Silver Chair.
The project has never gained much traction, but Johnston was committed enough to say that it would be the last movie he directed. There was even a rumor that Millie Bobby Brown was offered the lead role in the movie. However, those plans may be scrapped now as Netflix has acquired the rights.
The official Chronicles of Narnia Facebook page shared the news today that Netflix is developing new TV shows and movies based on Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books. This is the first time that one company has held the rights to all seven of Lewis' novels, so there is no limit to what Netflix will be able to with the property. There is no word on when any of these new projects will start production, much less debut on Netflix.
