You may have heard all the news over at Amazon Studios, and how they’re going all-in on this fantasy thing. Of course, they’re taking on The Lord of the Rings, but earlier this week, we also got news that they’d be developing as a series based on the Wheel of Time books from Robert Jordan. Well, it looks like Netflix is also getting into the fantasy game, as evidenced by this new announcement.

In a post on the official Chronicles of Narnia fan page, it was announced that Netflix is developing series and films based on the beloved novels from C.S. Lewis.

“C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia stories have resonated with generations of readers around the world,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer, Netflix. “Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”

“It is wonderful to know that folks from all over are looking forward to seeing more of Narnia, and that the advances in production and distribution technology have made it possible for us to make Narnian adventures come to life all over the world,” said Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis. “Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them towards this goal.”

“Narnia is one of those rare properties that spans multiple generations and geographies,” said Mark Gordon, eOne’s President and Chief Content Officer, Film & Television. “eOne and I are excited to be collaborating with The C.S. Lewis Company and Netflix who have the capacity to translate the Narnia universe into both stellar feature-length and episodic programming. We cannot wait to get started on the multiple productions we hope to undertake.”

We’ll have to wait and see if the audiences out there are ready for more high fantasy series, but it looks like the major studios out there are gearing up. In addition to the three mentioned here, HBO is also hard at work on their Game of Thrones spinoff series, so pretty soon we’ll have more fantasy than we can handle.
