The Scripted Television Series Will Be A Faithful Adaptation Of The Beloved Original Harry Potter Books Written By J.K. Rowling.
A week ago we wrote that Warner Bros. was close the deal with author J.K Rowling and now it’s finished and officially a greenlight and ordered at the new Streaming service. Max will be the new home for both Warner Bros and Discovery Plus content.
As mention before here at Mackans Film, this will be with a new cast and pretty much a lot of new things. J.K Rowling is set to executive produce this rebooting series. Eight books will cover each season.
“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.”
The statement from the new Max service reads:
Max is thrilled to announce it has ordered an original “Harry Potter” scripted television series, it was confirmed today during Warner Bros. Discovery’s unveiling of the Max streaming service on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles. The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved “Harry Potter” book series by author and executive producer, J.K. Rowling. From Warner Bros. Television, the new Max Original series will be available on Max in (US) and globally once produced.
The stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over twenty-five years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.
The celebrated author herself has commented on the new deal.
“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 J.K. Rowling.
