Netflix is rebooting CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia with a series of films that will need to learn from the mistakes of the 2000s movies.
Netflix is rebooting The Chronicles of Narnia with its own series of films, but must learn from the mistakes of the ones that came out in the 2000s in order to succeed. Based on the popular fantasy book series from British author C.S.

8 Netflix’s Chronicles Of Narnia Can Start At A Different Point The 2000s films began with The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe but as far as the Netflix films are concerned, this trajectory doesn't have to be the case.
