Warner Bros. is rebooting the Harry Potter franchise as a TV series developed for Max. This will be a completely new adaptation of JK Rowlingthe beloved book series by. The author of the books is an executive producer on the project and it is explained that the series will be a faithful version of her story.
Original Harry Potter film producer David Heymann is producing the series, but is directing the franchise David Yates he has made it clear that he will not return to work on it. Yates directed four films in the franchise and, when asked in an interview with CB if he was involved in the series, he said:
“You know what? I honestly couldn’t get involved in any way. Simply: I spent a lot of time in that school, in those corridors and in those classrooms, and it was a beautiful experience and one that I will always treasure. But to go back and do another year or two, for me, I feel like I’ve left it in. Being in the back of a van with [producer] Lawrence [Grey] in Savannah’s Atlanta, getting busy trying to create drama, to me, right now, is more compelling than walking through the hallowed gates of Hogwarts.”
He went on to say that he hopes the show does well, though:
“I look forward to that show so much, it’s going to be amazing to see them re-explore all that it can be for the next generation. I think it’s going to be a challenge for everyone involved, but it’s a very exciting undertaking and I wish it well. amazing experience for me, and I know the other directors involved, and it will be for the next generation of directors.”
It will be interesting to see how it turns out. I just hope they assemble a very talented creative team to bring it to life in an epic way. I also hope they don’t skimp on the budget.
There will be an entirely new cast playing the beloved characters and the show is being billed as “a decade-long show.” CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav he previously said, “My wife and I read (the Harry Potter books) to each of our three children… It’s really heartwarming, for ten years straight, people will see Harry Potter on HBO; I mean, it’s really something.
It’s going to be a pretty epic undertaking, and we’ll just have to wait and see if they can actually pull it off.
Casey Bloys, President and CEO of HBO and Max Content said in a statement: “We are pleased to offer audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a completely new way. Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it’s clear that there is such an enduring love and thirst for the wizarding world. In collaboration with Warner Bros. Television and JK Rowling, this new Max Original series will delve into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to appreciate all these years.
JK Rowling. added: “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me and I look forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only offered by a long-running television series duration.”
There’s no telling when we might actually see this series made and released.
