It’s been almost ten years since the last Harry Potter film was released, but Harry’s story is not over yet. Potter TV shows are holding their works.
The show – refitting the entire book series (1-7) – was first announced by Warner Bros Discovery in April 2023 and moved to HBO Max earlier this year.
In a recent presentation at Warner Bros Discovery’s London headquarters on December 5th, HBO executives confirmed some details about the show, but rumors have been made to talk to the cast, including John Lithgow. I’ve kicked out the name.
A return to the wizard’s world will definitely have long-term fans marking the calendar until it comes out.

The show has been announced at HBO Max in the US. The brains behind shows like Alias, Inheritance and House of the Dragon have recently been rebranded by Max.
“Max’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of my book is important to me,” J.K. Rowling said in a press release that released the news. “We look forward to taking part in this new adaptation, which allows for some depth and detail that is only offered by long-term television series.”
It’s unclear where it will appear in the UK, but following other HBO shows like House of Dragon and Supens, it will be available on Sky Atlantic.
Yes, she has appeared as an executive producer, but her attitude on gender issues has attracted a lot of controversy and press attention in recent years, and is inevitably raised ahead of this new show.
“Our priorities are on-screen,” HBO CEO Casey Bloys said of it. “Obviously, Harry Potter’s story is incredibly positive and positive, about love and self-acceptance. That’s our priorities and it’s on screen.”
Showrunner has been decided
Over the past few months, trickle with a slow name has been announced. It was announced in June 2024 that Francesca Gardiner (who helped write the succession of the TV series) had been announced as a showrunner. (We).

Who is rumored to be cast on the show?
“My understanding is that they are trying to get started very fresh and I’m sure anyone making them would want to make their own mark. Daniel Radcliffe recently wrote a comic book. He told .com.
“So I definitely never wanted that. But I wish them all the luck in the world, obviously, and I’m very excited that that torch will pass by. But the physical I don’t think you need to pass the exam.”
Although HBO has yet to confirm a single cast member, several trade publications have revealed some of the names that are allegedly approaching for the series.
According to Variety, Ir Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spy, Wolf Hall) is approaching to play Professor Dumbledore, but Holly’s reporter says Paapa Eshade (I might destroy you, Black Mirror) ) said they were talking to play Severus Snape. Peaky Blindstar Syrian Murphy is considered in the role of Voldemort.
However, there is no news yet about who will play the young wizard.
However, the deadline recently suggested that John Lithgow could be nearing a deal to star as Professor Dumbledore.
HBO did not confirm the rumors. “We are grateful that such a high-profile series will elicit a lot of rumors and speculation,” the network said in a statement. “When you go through pre-production, we only check the details when you complete the transaction.”
Lithgow recently appeared in Oscar-nominated drama Conclave, focusing on the Pope election, and also appeared in the LGBTQ family drama Jimpa.
Production is still on – and when will it come out?
In a recent presentation, HBO CEO Casey Bloys revealed that the season is expected to begin filming in mid-2025. The production will be held at Warner Bros. Lefsden Studios in Hertfordshire. It’s the same place where the famous film was filmed.
However, there is still time to wait. The current estimated release date for the Harry Potter series is 2026.
How many seasons are there?
Surprisingly, not seven (by number of books): Max and Warner Bros have confirmed they are expecting a 10-season arc. I don’t know what that looks like yet, but I’ll get more details.
