DeAPlaneta Entertainment announces the start of development of Magic Lilly – The Movie, a feature film that will expand the universe of this new audiovisual franchise, strengthening its international reach with the ambition of establishing the franchise as a global brand.

The project is part of the relaunch of Hexe Lilly, the successful book series created by German author KNISTER, which has established itself as an international publishing and audiovisual phenomenon over more than three decades. Its popularity has led to numerous adaptations across different formats, including live-action feature films and television series including a new reboot that will be released in 2027, with most of the main European broadcasters already on board (Super RTL, RAI Kids, RTVE, 3Cat, VRT).

Magic Lilly – The Movie will feature a creative team led by Michael Coldewey (VFX Producer of Iron Man 3, The Avengers, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man:Homecoming, Sonic the Hedgehog), executive producer of all previous Hexe Lilly live action Features and Julián Larrauri (Wonder Park, Luck, Spellbound), a producer overseeing the project’s development, whose credits include award-winning productions recognized with the European Film Award, an Annie Award and a major prize at Annecy, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature for Robot Dreams.

Scheduled to hit theaters in 2029, the Feature will expand the franchise as an epic standalone event. When a devastating mistake shatters the bond between Lilly and Hector, guardian of the ancient Book of Spells, the fractured partners are forced onto opposite sides of a magical war. Together, they must face the fallout of releasing Ignis—a terrifying Black Dragon of Chaos determined to consume Earth’s remaining magic. The race to save the world has begun, but their fiercest battle will be the one fought from within…
