ORIGINAL STORY (April 4, 2023): Harry Potter could be coming to the small screen. According to Bloomberg, a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. that would turn the books into an online TV series is in the works.
“Each season of the series will be based on one of JK Rowling’s seven books,” read the report, noting that two individuals who shared the info are to remain anonymous. While much remains unknown, including who would be cast on the forthcoming series, it seems like Rowling will have a say. The report states that “the author will be involved in the series to ensure it remains loyal to her original material but will not run the show day to day or serve as its primary creator, the people said.”
Previously, Warner Bros. turned each of the Harry Potter novels into a movie, starring Daniel Radcliffe as the titular role. In total, there were eight films as the final installment was split into two parts.
Stay tuned for more updates on the potential online TV series.
