By David Hill On May 9, 2024

This is what we now know if you’re wondering when The Magic Faraway Tree (Movie) will be released. Children have been inspired by Enid Blyton’s The Faraway Tree book series for centuries. They are currently receiving a big-screen makeover, with some of the top names in the business involved.

The story, which takes place in the present era, is on a married couple named Tim and Polly, along with their three kids, who come across a miraculous tree that opens a portal to fantastical and magical realms. Here are all the details we currently know about the release date and schedule for The Magic Faraway Tree (Movie).

Is There a Release Date for The Magic Faraway Tree?

The Magic Faraway Tree movie is expected to be released in 2025. The news of Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy’s casting for the film version of Enid Blyton’s children’s book series The Faraway Tree broke in May 2025.

The screenplay for Blyton’s novel was written by Simon Farnaby (Wonka), and Ben Gregor (Fatherhood) will be directing the movie. Palisades Park Pictures will present the picture for sale at this year’s Cannes picture Festival. The project is being produced by Real Street Productions, Elysian project Group, and Ashland Hill Media Finance.

“Any screenwriter’s dream is to have two actors as good as Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy,” said Farnaby. “I have always appreciated their kindness, humor, and delicacy of touch. Additionally, they possess the ability to give their characters depths that I am unable to convey through writing. Even Enid Blyton might be impressed that we had the Queen and Spider-Man, really.

Tim and Polly will be portrayed by Garfield and Foy, respectively. There is still casting going on for other positions. The Magic Faraway Tree (Movie) could have its premiere in 2025 if production manages to start by June as scheduled. Based on the information available to us at the time of writing, this date is an estimate.
