A Harry Potter TV show remake is officially happening, and here's why it's being made instead of Harry Potter 9 or a Cursed Child adaptation.
The Harry Potter TV show remake has officially been announced by Warner Bros. Discovery for the studios' newly-branded MAX streaming service, begging the question of why this is the case over the production of Harry Potter 9. The mainline Harry Potter series culminated over a decade ago in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 in an extremely satisfying fashion, with many dubbing the franchise as one of the very best book-to-film adaptations of all time.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Due to the less-than-stellar performances of the Fantastic Beasts sequels, rumors began circulating in early April 2023 that Warner Bros. Discovery was planning a TV show remake of Harry Potter for HBO Max. This news was officially confirmed weeks later, with the announcement of a Harry Potter series debuting on the newly-rebranded MAX streaming service.
Similarly, TV shows are inherently much different from films. From the way they are constructed, written, shot, and produced to how they play out in terms of runtime and budget, the difference between film and TV has always been stark. This means that the remake of Harry Potter will feel somewhat different from the original films, as they will be made with the TV model in mind .
Will Harry Potter 9 Or Fantastic Beasts 4 Ever Happen? With the announcement of the new Harry Potter series, the future of a potential Harry Potter 9 or Fantastic Beasts 4 looks grim. Beginning with the latter, the prequel series to Harry Potter was initially intended to have five films, with only three releasing before the series began losing steam for various reasons. From the controversies surrounding J.K.
While Harry Potter 9 is arguably more likely than Fantastic Beasts 4 given the established story from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it is now less likely. The Harry Potter TV remake will likely be a very long project, resulting in more than a decade of production. This will mean there will be no time to focus on a potential sequel to the original series of films.
