Matthew Warchus, who has experience directing the stage show, will also be helming the new Matilda the Musical movie for Netflix.
Raold Dahl’s beloved 1988 novel Matilda is getting an all-new movie adaptation from Netflix and Sony Pictures.
Called Matilda the Musical, the movie will be directly based on the popular stage show version of the classic story which has been running in London since 2011.
Back in 2018, it was also reported that Netflix would be adapting Matilda as an animated series for children as well.
