Narnia Netflix

Around five years ago it was rumored that Netflix bought all the rights to Television and Movie production of all the books of the Narnia series. This is the first time that one company have held all the adaptations rights. Netflix confirmed those rumors. More recently around one year Netflix announced that they will be indeed making two Narnia films. They also revealed that Greta Gerwig is coming on to take command of the productions. Greta Gerwig directed Barbie, and Little Women. She also wrote the script for the live action Snow White. Greta could be good for Narnia But then again she could be bad. There only hope and so I hope for the best. There is no telling how far along the production of the movies do not have a releases date and no trailer. And so here is what we know of the new Netflix Narnia.

Upcoming Tolkien Adaptations (as of 2024)

Intro

There are several major Tolkien adaptations are coming up this year. You may know of some, but you may not be aware of others. So I am going to quickly cover what are the adaptations and when they are coming out.

Rings of Power

The Amazon television series season 2 will be premiering on August 29, 2024. They have sent out a full trailer in eager anticipation of the release date. From the trailer images, I think that season 2 will be so much better and lore-following than season 1. Also, allegedly, three episodes will be released on the 29th and the five next episodes will come out on a weekly basis.

War of the Rohirrim

The new Warner Bros. animated movie War of the Rohirrim is set to come up in December 13, 2024. the Executive Producer is Phillipa Boynes who is the one of the original producers of the Lord of the Rings movie. There is no trailer as of this date, but a few images have been released.

Tales of the Shire

The Tales of the Shire is a video game. It is made by Weta Workshops game department. Weta Workshop is back! They worked a ton on the Lord of the Rings movie prop making and much more. the game is said to be a “Cozy” game. The Tales of the Shire is supposed to come out in the latter half of 2024.

Gollum movie

Warner Bros. proclaimed that they will be making three new middle-earth films (not counting War of the Rohirrim) the first one of the Films is a Gollum movie covering Gandalf and Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum. Also, Peter Jackson is returning to lead yet another Middle-Earth film, but even better Andy Serkis is back to play Gollum and direct the movie. The first release’s date is some time in 2026 The other two movies have yet to be announced.

Amazon Lord of the Rings MMO

For those who are unaware of what an MMO is, it is a Massively Multiplayer game. Amazon is a making a LOTR game. My hopes are not high, but I will not condemn it before it comes out…I will wait and see. Its release date is in 2029, but it is so far out that the date could easily change.

Conclusion

I will eagerly await theses new adaptations like you all. My hopes are for the best adaptions of Tolkien’s world.
