Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly considering the possibility of multiple TV shows based on the beloved Harry Potter franchise. In April 2023, it was confirmed that a TV show adaptation of Harry Potter was in the works for Warner Bros. Discovery's Max streaming service. The show is set to cover all seven books in J.K. Rowling's famous novel series. While the project is still in its early stages and no casting or plot details have been revealed, new reports suggest that Warner Bros. Discovery is open to exploring multiple Harry Potter spin-offs for their streaming platform.
According to Deadline, Max is considering developing more than one idea based on the Harry Potter universe. This update comes alongside news that a group of talented writers, including Martha Hillier, Kathleen Jordan, Tom Moran, and Michael Lesslie, are currently working on their pitches for the TV show's premise. As of now, it is too early to determine the exact nature and content of potential Harry Potter spin-offs.
When examining the past credits of the writers involved, intriguing possibilities emerge. Martha Hillier, known for her work on the fantasy series 'The Last Kingdom' and British soaps like 'EastEnders' and 'Holby City,' has experience in developing compelling relationships between characters. Kathleen Jordan has worked on the beloved young adult dramedy 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' for Netflix, while Michael Lesslie wrote the successful film 'The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.' Tom Moran, the creator of the supernatural thriller 'The Devil's Hour,' adds another unique perspective to the team.
All four writers possess a diverse range of skills and experiences that align with the goals of the Harry Potter series. The main objective at this stage is to successfully launch the initial adaptation and then explore which characters could potentially carry their own standalone shows. Each writer will bring their unique creative voice and vision to the project, making it an exciting prospect for fans of the magical world.
While the details remain scarce, Harry Potter enthusiasts can certainly look forward to more adventures set in the wizarding world. With a talented group of writers involved and Warner Bros. Discovery's open-minded approach to multiple spin-offs, the future of Harry Potter on the small screen promises to be full of enchantment and surprises.
