Potterheads can currently look forward to the new adaptation of their Bible, launching on HBO MAX with a 10-year “Harry Potter” series. While we already received some long-awaited updates about the Hogwarts production process in January, there are. There is now a new Eulenpost, which takes the project a small step forward.
This narrows the circle of potential authors who should be the creative force behind the series. How exclusively reported, there would be only three candidates left for the coveted position, while the trio has one prominent new addition: namely Fancesca Gardinerincluding the hit series “Succession” can show in their portfolio.
The drama series, which is especially popular in the US, again won numerous Emmys and Golden Globes this year and even reached second place in our ranking of the best series of 2023. Further entries in Gardiner’s filmography include the no less notable series “Killing Eve”, “The Man In The High Castle” and “His Dark Materials”.
It is currently unknown who forms the golden trio with Gardiner. Most recently, Martha Hillier (“The Last Kingdom”), Kathleen Jordan (“Teenage Bounty Hunters”), Tom Moran (“The Devil’s Hour”) and Michael Lesslie (“The Hunger Games – The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes”) were cast on the shortlist. However, only one author does not necessarily have to be selected for the series; JK Rowling’s novels can also be adapted for serial storytelling by multiple authors working as a team.
The novelist is said to be involved as an executive producer in the ongoing pitching process, which will discuss not only the adaptation of the main story about Harry, Ron and Hermione, but also possible further series from the ‘Harry Potter’ cosmos. to arise. The selected authors should also contribute further ideas on the proposals and their implementation will be considered. So will we still get the ‘Marauders’ series about Sirius Black, Remus Lupine, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew in their Hogwarts days that fans have been longing for – or something completely different? It remains exciting…
The planned series about Harry and Co. is expected to launch in 2025 on the MAX streaming service. It is not yet clear where we will see the series in Germany. However, given that numerous MAX productions have already started on Sky or WOW in this country, it’s fair to assume that this potential hit will also be found on the platform.
