The Silver Chair (2026) brings C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia series back to the big screen, continuing the epic adventure that fans have been waiting for! In this highly anticipated fourth installment, we follow Jill Pole (played by newcomer Emma Mackey) and Eustace Scrubb (played by Tom Taylor) as they venture into Narnia on a quest to rescue Prince Rilian, the missing heir to the throne.
With the fate of Narnia hanging in the balance, they must navigate the perilous wilderness, face off against dark forces, and confront the terrifying Lady of the Green Kirtle, who has imprisoned the prince in a magical silver chair.
The film captures the same magical essence that made the Narnia franchise a worldwide phenomenon, while adding a fresh sense of adventure and discovery. The fantastical creatures, breathtaking landscapes, and stunning visual effects transport audiences to a vibrant world that is as dangerous as it is beautiful.
What sets The Silver Chair apart is its more mature and darker tone, perfectly reflecting the growth of the young characters. Emma Mackey shines as the brave and determined Jill, bringing a refreshing new energy to the Narnia universe. Meanwhile, Tom Taylor’s Eustace continues to evolve, with his cleverness and bravery taking center stage as they battle both external and internal obstacles. The addition of powerful new characters like The Lady of the Green Kirtle adds even more depth and mystery to the story.
Director Joe Johnston (known for Captain America: The First Avenger) masterfully blends the magic of Narnia with the urgency of their quest, ensuring The Silver Chair stands as one of the franchise’s most captivating entries. Fans of the series will appreciate the deeper dive into Narnia’s history and lore, while newcomers will be drawn into a story of hope, bravery, and redemption.
