Netflix on Monday announced that it will be producing an animated series version of the card game Magic: The Gathering in conjunction with the Russo brothers and game publisher Wizards of the Coast.
“The Russos will oversee the creation of an all new storyline and expand on the stories of the Planeswalkers, which are Magic’s unique magic-wielding heroes and villains,” the company said in a press release.

The series will be animated by Bardel Entertainment and feature several voice actors from the likes of Ultimate Spider-Man and Batman: The Animated Series, to name a few.
