Warner Bros. He has made the greatest speed in recent years – in a full series about Harry Potter.
This will be the restart of the stories about the wizard boy with the new cast, designed for different seasons (one for each book). And the schedule of the project is really impressive.
Ten years in the air
During a recent call with investors, the head of Warner Bros. David Zaslav: The series is designed for at least seven seasons and the release will extend for about ten years. If everything goes according to plan, the start will take place in 2027 and the public will only see the final by 2037.
For comparison: the original cinema took almost the same amount from November 2001, when the “Philosopher’s Stone” was released, until July 2011 it was when those “Gifts of Death. Part 2” was released.
What is the difference with films
Joan Rowling’s books form the basis of every season. If the first film was two and a half hours, the first season of the series promises to stretch the “Philosopher’s Stone” in eight episodes-that is, the story receives about three to four times longer than the screen time.
And this is just the beginning. For each new part, the books are getting thicker, which means that the adjustments will be longer. Fans are already suggesting that late volumes can be divided into two seasons or expand the number of series.
How much are you waiting for new seasons
Formally, the schedule looks strict: seven seasons in ten years – this is a year and a half for the production of each part. For modern streaming, such a pace is a rarity, especially for projects at Harry Potter level. Series usually go with big special effects and decorations on the ‘Season of two years’ schedule.
Fans in social networks are already joking:
“If you wait for the final until the 2040s, then my children will have time to grow up and see for themselves.”
Warner Bros. He understands perfectly that this is an expensive and risky project, but the franchise is still incredibly popular. Let us remember at least the Hogwarts Legacy game, which was sold the best in a year and more than 34 million copies varied.
