— See What’s Next (@seewhatsnext) October 3, 2018 The president of eOne, Mark Gordon, says that he is “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.” That sounds like more than seven movies to me! Douglas Gresham, one of Lewis’s step-sons, and Vincent Sieber, who has been involved in Narnia adaptations since The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, will act as producers for any movies and executive producers of any series. (Sieber’s IMDB page says he started as a P.A on Wardrobe in 2005. It appears he has worked his way up.) The last major adaptation grossed over $1.5 billion world wide, but this Narnia fan just hopes that these new movies achieve the magic and wonder of the maybe less financially successful, but still certainly wonderful BBC adaptation from 1988. See the statement from Netflix, eOne, and the C.S. Lewis company here.
