Return to Narnia

Return to Narnia is a documentary that brings together the cast and crew of the BBC adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia nearly forty years after they first aired. Through interviews with nearly 30 participants, including all four actors who played the Pevensie children, the film looks back at the production's history. The contributors visit former filming locations and share memories of working on the set, discussing how the world of C.S. Lewis was created using resourceful methods despite a lack of funding. The film uses archival footage and personal stories to examine the production choices made at the time and the long-term effect the series had on the creators and their audience.

The film was directed by Chris Chapman, following his previous works Fantastic Beasts: A Natural History, Darkness & Light: The Life of Graham Williams, and Looking for Dursley. Produced in the United Kingdom by the BBC and Moon Balloon, the documentary has a runtime of 130 minutes. The cast features Richard Dempsey, Sophie Wilcox, Jonathan R. Scott, Sophie Cook, Jean-Marc Perret, and Samuel West appearing as themselves, with a total of 27 credited cast members.
