The Russo’s also made their excitement known on this project:
We have been huge fans and players of Magic: The Gathering for as long as it has been around, so being able to help bring these stories to life through animation is a true passion project for us.
While details are in short supply, it is known that the team at Octopie have been given the task of overseeing the work. They, like everyone else, seems ready for the challenge. Issac Krause, CEO of Octopie expressed his excitement at the opportunity.
Working with Joe and Anthony, Wizards of the Coast, and Netflix on such a universally cherished brand is a real highlight for our studio. Our goal is to not only tell a compelling story leveraging Magic: The Gathering’s incredible body of work, but to also push the medium and perception of storytelling through animation. This series will cross the genres of suspenseful thriller, horror, and drama with deeply developed characters the likes of which are not often seen in animation.
