Fans can also rest assured that the Wizards story team behind Magic: The Gathering's lore has also been a part of the production of Netflix's Planeswalker from the very start, which will follow the struggle for power between powerful mages starring the Planeswalker Chandra alongside several other iconic characters from the trading card game. Aside from the Wizards and Hasbro Entertainment teams, MTG's Planeswalker will also be headed by VisionQuest and Star Trek: Picard creator Terry Matalas as the showrunner, alongside numerous creatives like Cindy Appel and Patrick Osborne as leads on the project.
