We’ve got so many updates on the upcoming Harry Potter series, coming to Max in 2026. WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav promises the new series will dive deep into the series of books, meaning we’ll see the iconic stories retold for the small screen. The plan is to tell the stories made famous by the series of novels for next 10 years, after the series premiere sometime in 2026. This means we’ll see adaptations of the Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows. Apparently each planned season will explore one of the books in the Harry Potter series, but as stated previously, the plan is to run it for 10 consecutive years, so it sounds like they’ll potentially stretch certain books for a couple seasons. That shouldn’t be an issue for the later years, and would be a major improvement on the original movies, which really should have been two-parters from Goblet of Fire Onwards David Zaslav seems quite bullish on Harry Potter being a viable franchise for WB Discovery, and with the success of both the staged production of The Cursed Child and the Hogwarts Legacy video game, interest in the Wizarding World is clearly there.
