Sources also told the Hollywood Reporter that she’s attached to direct a feature film version of the popular book series.

Netflix has not officially commented on the news, but the streamer did acquire the film and TV rights to The Chronicles of Narnia book series in 2018.

At the time, co-CEO of Netflix Ted Sarandos said, “Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”

Of course, prior to Netflix, Disney and Fox made adaptations of the beloved C. S. Lewis series. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader were released in 2005, 2008, and 2010 respectively.
