The Chronicles of Narnia is a fantasy film series and media franchise based on The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of novels by C. S. Lewis. The series revolves around the adventures of children in the world of Narnia, guided by Aslan, a wise and powerful lion that can speak and is the true king of Narnia. The children heavily featured in the films are the Pevensie siblings, and a prominent antagonist is the White Witch (also known as Queen Jadis). The franchise also includes short films, digital series, and video games.
From the seven books, three were adapted—The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), Prince Caspian (2008), and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)—which collectively grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide (although critical and commercial reception declined with each release). The first two films were directed by Andrew Adamson and the third film was directed by Michael Apted. All were produced by Walden Media. Plans for a fourth film in the Walden series were abandoned when it was announced in 2018 that new adaptations would be made for Netflix. A fourth film directed by Greta Gerwig, based on the first chronological book in the series, Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, is set for release in 2026.
