Production is set to begin in summer 2025 at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, as confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery executives.

J.K. Rowling will serve as an executive producer, ensuring the series remains true to her original story despite ongoing controversies surrounding her views.

HBO is developing a new Harry Potter TV series, marking the first adaptation for television, which was announced in April 2023.

While initially planned as a Max original, the series will now air on HBO, with streaming likely available on Max.

The reboot will adapt each of the seven books from J.K. Rowling's original series over a planned decade-long run, with each season dedicated to a single book.

The series is now officially set to premiere in 2027, delayed from its original late 2026 timeline due to production schedules.

Francesca Gardiner has been confirmed as the writer and showrunner, with Mark Mylod directing some episodes, while David Heyman is also in talks to join the project.

This series aims for a more detailed adaptation of the books, addressing the limitations of the original films and allowing for deeper storytelling and character development.

Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that the series will feature a completely new cast, introducing a fresh generation of actors to lead the story.

An open casting call has been issued for the iconic trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, targeting children aged 9 to 11 in the U.K. and Ireland.

HBO and Max CEO Casey Bloys expressed excitement about introducing Hogwarts to new audiences through this adaptation.

John Lithgow has expressed interest in playing Albus Dumbledore, although his casting has not been finalized yet.
