When is Narnia: The Magician's Nephew (Greta Gerwig)?
Date: Thursday, November 26, 2026. Status: Announced by Netflix (IMAX run Nov 26; Netflix streaming Dec 25). When we last checked, on October 12, 2026, that was 45 days away, about 6 weeks, with roughly 33 weekdays in between.
What we know
Greta Gerwig's Narnia film, adapting C.S. Lewis's The Magician's Nephew, gets an IMAX theatrical run starting on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, and then streams worldwide on Netflix from Christmas Day, December 25, 2026. It's an unusual setup for Netflix, which normally skips theaters or gives them a tiny window.
Details worth knowing
The Magician's Nephew is the origin story of Narnia, where we see how the world was created and where the lamp-post and the White Witch came from. Reported cast includes Daniel Craig and Emma Mackey. It's meant to kick off a new series of Narnia films.
Our take
If you want the big-screen experience, the IMAX window is short, so don't wait until mid-December. Otherwise, it's a ready-made Christmas Day family movie on Netflix. See our Christmas countdown too.
How to get ready
For opening weekend, buy tickets as soon as they go on sale, especially for IMAX and Dolby screens. Weekday matinees are cheaper and quieter if you're not desperate to see it on night one.
