So far we haven’t heard much information on the plot or a projected release date. But we do see Planeswalker character “Chandra” on the Netflix teaser image. Planewalkers are described as “Magic’s unique magic-wielding heroes and villains as they contend with stakes larger than any one world can hold.”

We’ll keep you posted on any new updates.
