Netflix's Magic: The Gathering series will star Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as lead character Gideon, and will be coming in the second half of 2022.


Revealed during Magic Showcase 2021, Routh appeared to introduce the character, and we got a first look at sketches and 3D models, shown in the tweet below.

The show is now fully written, with the entire voice cast in place, and all voice recordings completed. It's been described as "character-first entertainment," focused on the familiar faces from the Magic multiverse, and their relationships. There's still a lot to do however, and the show won't arrive until the second half of 2022


The show will arrive alongside a prequel novel, which will tell the story of Gideon and Jace, how they met, see them head on a "roadtrip through the Multiverse" and, eventually, explore where their relationship went sour – presumably leading us directly into the events of the show.

The Russo Brothers exited the show, with Transformers: Prime co-creator Jeff Kline joining the project as executive producer.
