Netflix is once again proving its disdain for traditional values, this time by reportedly planning to butcher C.S. Lewis’s beloved “Chronicles of Narnia” with a woke overhaul that’s sure to enrage conservatives and Christians alike. According to a bombshell report from The Western Journal, the streaming giant, which scooped up the rights to Lewis’s iconic seven-book series back in 2018, is gearing up to slap a feminist twist on the timeless tale.
Word on the street—courtesy of Nexus Point News—is that Netflix has tapped Meryl Streep to play Aslan, the lion who’s long been revered as a Christ-like figure, and they’re making him a her. If true, this isn’t just a creative liberty; it’s a deliberate middle finger to the faithful fans who’ve cherished Lewis’s Christian allegory for decades.
Let’s rewind a bit. The “Chronicles of Narnia” isn’t some obscure indie project—it’s a cultural cornerstone. The earlier film adaptations by Walden Media and Disney, especially 2005’s “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” raked in $745 million worldwide and nearly $300 million domestically.
Why? Because director Andrew Adamson stayed true to Lewis’s vision, with Liam Neeson’s majestic Aslan embodying the sacrificial heroism that echoes the Gospel itself. That resurrection scene—where Aslan explains his triumph over death as an innocent sacrifice—still gives chills to anyone who values faith and redemption. It’s no wonder Christians rallied behind it.
Now, enter Greta Gerwig, the director behind the insufferable “Barbie” movie that conservatives rightfully panned for its preachy, anti-family undertones. She’s helming this Netflix project, slated for theaters in November 2026 before hitting the streamer. Gerwig’s track record doesn’t exactly scream respect for tradition—remember “Barbie” opening with girls smashing baby dolls? Hardly the vibe for a story about courage, sacrifice, and divine order. And if the rumors hold, casting Streep as a female Aslan isn’t just a gender swap—it’s a theological gut punch. Aslan’s not some interchangeable mascot; he’s a symbol of Christ’s strength and mercy. Messing with that isn’t “bold”; it’s blasphemous.
Conservatives on X are already sounding the alarm. One user, @RightWngdAngel, posted: “Netflix turning Aslan into a female is peak woke nonsense. C.S. Lewis would roll in his grave. #BoycottNetflix.”
Another, @PatriotVoiceUSA, chimed in: “First they shove ‘Cuties’ down our throats, now they’re coming for Narnia. Hollywood hates Christians—plain and simple.”
The outrage is palpable, and it’s not hard to see why. Mark Hemingway of RealClearInvestigations nailed it when he asked, “Who is the ‘core demo’ for Narnia? It’s normie Christian families, who are not going to cotton to the idea of a female God.”
He’s right—Netflix is alienating the very audience that made Narnia a hit in the first place.
This isn’t Netflix’s first rodeo with offending conservatives. From the creepy “Cuties” debacle to that vile “gay Jesus” special in 2019, they’ve got a rap sheet of pushing boundaries just to spite the right. And let’s not forget Elon Musk roasting their “woke mind virus” programming in 2022, right before their stock tanked. Coincidence? Doubtful. The left might cheer this as “progress,” but for those of us who value faith and heritage, it’s another sign of Hollywood’s war on our values.
Sure, Gerwig could still surprise us—maybe Daniel Craig as Aslan and Streep as the White Witch would keep things closer to Lewis’s spirit. But don’t hold your breath. Netflix’s track record suggests they’re more interested in pandering to the coastal elite than honoring a story that’s inspired generations. Conservatives and Christians deserve better than this sacrilege. Time to hit them where it hurts—cancel those subscriptions and let the market do the talking.
