Two of the biggest media franchises of the 21st century, the Hunger Games and Harry Potter – are back in the mid-2020s with new material, but the Hunger Games is already ahead of Harry Potter. Suzanne Collins is releasing a new Hunger Games book called Reaping On The Reaping in March 2025. Like all the novels that came before that, The Reaping’s Sunrise is scheduled to premiere in late 2026. Meanwhile, Harry and Harry Potter have become television series.
According to the deadline, upcoming Harry Potter TV shows will begin production in the summer of 2025, preparing for the expected release dates for the second half of 2026/early 2027.
Harry Potter (TV show) serves as a reboot of the original film, based on a seven-volume series. Instead of a new storyline, the upcoming HBO original television show begins where the Daniel Radcliffe film went and begins with Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Francesca Gardiner, who worked as a consulting producer in Succession, is a showrunner, with Mark Mirod directing the episode. As for the cast, HBO has yet to confirm the name.

While Harry Potter’s television shows focus on the same plot as the film, the Hunger Games: Sunrise of the Reap records a new story. The Sixth Hunger Games movie is a first part that spins around the 50th Hunger Games. The story is told from the perspective of Haymitch Abernathy. Because he was one of 48 tributes entering the arena in Quell in the second quarter. The original Hunger Games book mentions some details surrounding the Heymitch game, but fans finally dig deeper into what actually happened that year.
