Exciting news for Harry Potter fans as the beloved wizarding world is set to make a return to the small screen in 2026. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO announced that the Harry Potter TV series will debut on the Max streaming service, with plans for a seven-season adaptation of J.K. Rowling's iconic book series.
The last Harry Potter film was released over a decade ago, and fans have been eagerly awaiting new content from the magical universe. The series will feature an all-new cast, with discussions already underway to find the right showrunner to lead the project.
The production team recently met with J.K. Rowling in London to discuss the show, and both sides are thrilled to be reigniting the franchise. While casting details have not been revealed yet, it is confirmed that the series will cover each book in the Harry Potter series, promising a decade of new stories for fans around the world.

However, plans are in motion to ensure that the new series stays true to the beloved source material while bringing fresh perspectives to the screen.
With the anticipation building for the Harry Potter TV series, fans can look forward to a new chapter in the magical world they know and love. Stay tuned for more updates as the series progresses towards its highly-anticipated debut on Max streaming service in 2026.
