One year after the incredible events of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

It was recently announced that Disney will not continue "The Chronicles of Narnia" franchise after the third film, even though there are a total of seven books in the series. Apparently, the studio wants to concentrate on other franchises like "Prince of Persia." This announcement was confirmed by producer Mark Johnson during the New York Comic-Con. [via FirstShowing]

Johnson told fans that they have "no plans" at the moment to continue past "Voyage of the Dawn Treader," but as always, it all depends on the success of the second and third installments. The first film, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe," has earned $745 million in worldwide ticket sales on $180 million budget.

At this point, "Prince Caspian" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 16th and "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is set to begin shooting in October of this year for a May 2010 release.
