The Chronicles of Narnia are coming back to screens in 2026, and the news arrives with a dual announcement: a Netflix reboot is on the way, and the original trilogy is getting a Blu-ray release.
Disney and Walden Media have announced a brand-new Blu-ray set for the Narnia films. The collection includes all three movies from the original trilogy: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008) and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010). Each film gets its own disc in a 3-disc set, and the package includes bonus features such as deleted scenes, audio commentaries and featurettes. Pre-orders are open now, with the set hitting shelves on October 6, 2026.
The reboot itself is being written and directed by Greta Gerwig, known for her work on Barbie. She will adapt The Magician’s Nephew, the first chronological book in the series. An exclusive first look at two of its mythical characters, Aslan and Jadis, was unveiled recently.
Gerwig Takes Over Narnia
Gerwig brings a distinctive voice to the project. Her previous work includes Barbie.
The movie is scheduled to arrive in theaters first, with a release date of February 12, 2027. After that, it moves to Netflix on April 2.
The Blu-ray Set Details
The 3-disc set is a straightforward collection. Each of the three films occupies its own disc, and the bonus features include never-before-seen deleted scenes, audio commentaries and featurettes.
“The new set is currently available for pre-order and will hit shelves on October 6, 2026.”
The release gives fans a chance to own the original trilogy before the new era arrives.
The Decision to Adapt The Magician’s Nephew
Gerwig’s adaptation choice is notable. The Magician’s Nephew opens the entire chronology of the series, and it sets the stage for everything that follows.
The Road to 2027
The theatrical release on February 12, 2027, precedes the Netflix arrival on April 2. Fans who want to see it on the big screen will have their chance first.
The Blu-ray set arrives on October 6, 2026, giving audiences a reason to revisit the original trilogy before the new era begins.
The Double Announcement
The Blu-ray set and the reboot announcement together offer something for everyone. Existing fans get a definitive version of the original trilogy, while newcomers have a chance to see what started it all.
The Bottom Line
The Narnia reboot is a real thing, and it is coming soon. Gerwig is attached, the release dates are set, and the Blu-ray set is on the way.
For fans of the books, this is a happy moment. The lion, the witch and the wardrobe are all part of what’s returning to screens in the not-too-distant future.
