The streaming juggernaut has announced plans to develop the Narnia series across multiple TV and film projects in conjunction with eOne and The C.S. Lewis Company, with whom Gordon had previously been developing the franchise. The multi-year deal is unprecedented, as this marks the first time that the same company has held the rights to all seven Narnia books.

Despite saying it would be a new franchise, Gordon’s initial plan was to pick up where the previous movies left off with The Silver Chair, Lewis’ fourth Narnia book. But, now that he’s been blessed with more bandwidth, he could very well unleash his own rendition of The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe. That kind of name recognition couldn’t hurt, as Netflix is clearly hoping the epic will stand up against Amazon’s looming, billion-dollar Lord Of The Rings prequel series.

Whoa! This could really be epic. 
I'm not sure they can improve on the 2005 version...but honestly, can't wait to see what they do with it!
