Netflix's animated series for Magic: The Gathering has had its first update, two years after its supposed release date. Actor Brandon Routh confirmed in an interview with Collider that the project was cancelled.

“I'm not sure. I did do a voice for it. As far as I understand, nobody's put out a press release about it, but apparently it's not happening. That's kind of old news. I'm not sure why it's surfacing again.”
