The Chronicles of Narnia is a fantasy series made up of seven books.

Netflix hasn't published an official plot as far as we know.

But from the trailer we can see there are similarities to the book the film takes its title from - The Magician's Nephew.

In the C. S. Lewis book, two children - Digory and Polly - are neighbours.

Together they explore a shared attic space, and are tricked into entering a forest full of magical worlds by Digory's magician uncle.
