Head of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav shared the company's plans for the release of the Harry Potter series at a meeting with investors. He said that a new adaptation of books about “the boy who lived” is going to be presented to the general public already in 2026 year, and will premiere on the streaming service Max (HBO Max).
The series was announced in April 2023 along with the release of a trailer, but not many details are known about it. The multi-part adaptation of the cult franchise about a school for wizards will be released over seven seasons, each of which will film the corresponding book from the series. This decision will undoubtedly make it possible to cover as many details as possible from the original source, which were mercilessly erased from the films for the sake of timing.
The project, which promises Harry Potter fans a decade of new stories, will receive a completely new cast, but will not do without the support of the creator of the magical universe. J. K. Rowling is excited about the opportunity to revive the franchise and is set to join the team as executive producer alongside Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts. The screenwriter for the series is still unknown, but there are rumors on the Internet about taking Francesca Gardiner, who worked on “The Descendants,” in this place.
