Harry Potter TV series announced amid clashes

The Harry Potter TV series is officially a go at Max, the streaming service known until today as HBO MAX.

The Warner Bros Discovery CEO, David Zaslav, announced the new service, which combines the original HBO Max with Discovery+, along with the tent-pole series based on JK Rowling’s books, on during a presentation on Wednesday, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

According to a statement from the newly branded Max, the live-action series, based on all seven of the series’ books published between 1997 and 2007, 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 25 years.”

Along with Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts, Rowling will serve as the series’ executive producer. All eight of the Harry Potter feature films, which were released between 2001 and 2011, were executive produced by David Heyman, who is also in discussions to executive produce this project.
