It’s official: A HarryPotter TV series is coming to Max. David Zaslav has revealed plans for a live-action TV series based on the original series of books:
The series hails from Warner Bros. TV, Bronte Film and TV and counts Rowling, Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts among its exec producers. David Heyman, who produced all eight feature films, is in talks to exec produce. A search for a writer and showrunner continues to be under way.
“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.
“Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series,” said Rowling.
