Greta Gerwig, the talented director behind the success of Barbie, is reportedly unhappy with Netflix’s decision to release the Chronicles of Narnia reboot directly on their streaming platform. According to reports from Matthew Belloni’s newsletter, Gerwig had hoped for a theatrical release but Netflix has chosen to stick with their streaming-first plan. Despite her concerns, the platform has not agreed to change the strategy.
Greta Gerwig Upset Over Narnia Release
The Chronicles of Narnia, based on the popular novels by C.S. Lewis first hit the big screen in 2005 with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, followed by Prince Caspian in 2008 and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2010. The upcoming reboot will be a fresh adaptation of this beloved series, under Gerwig’s direction, though it will not follow the traditional movie release format.

William Moseley, who played Peter Pevensie in the previous films, has expressed sadness over not being part of the new project. He shared his love for the world of Narnia and admitted he would join the new series if asked, though he doesn’t expect it to happen.
Gerwig, known for her excellent storytelling in films like Little Women and Lady Bird, took on this reboot with a mix of excitement and nervousness. In an interview, she mentioned that feeling scared about a project often means it’s going to be something great. The reboot is scheduled to debut on Netflix in 2025.
