Harry Potter set to enter the streaming world as live-action TV series is in ‘early development’ at HBO Max
Harry Potter is entering the streaming world, following reports of a live-action TV series that is in the early stages of development for HBO Max.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. have held a series of meetings to bring the blockbuster franchise – based on the seven beloved books by J.K. Rowling – to television.
However, representatives for HBO Max and Warner Bros are keeping quiet for now, telling THR in a statement: “There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.”
Still, the trade publication claims that producers have been having ‘multiple conversations’ with writers to explore ideas on expanding the wizarding world of Harry Potter, that has spawned eight feature films grossing more than $7 billion worldwide.
