Harry Potter TV show on Max is set to debut in 2026.

Warner Bros. Discovery officially announced the launch of a new television series based on the Harry Potter literary saga, confirming J.K. Rowling's involvement in the massive project. In a revelation that has generated great expectations among fans of the franchise, the TV version aims to adapt each of the seven books into individual seasons, providing a detailed exploration of every aspect of the magical world. This announcement, disclosed during the fourth quarter earnings call by CEO David Zaslav, marks a new chapter in the evolution of one of entertainment's most beloved fantasy universes. It will arrive in 2026 at Max and will run for ten years according to estimates.

"We are excited to be working on this new television adaptation with J.K. Rowling," noted Zaslav, citing the positive collaboration that has existed between the author and the Warner team. Rowling's involvement in the process is seen as an endorsement of authenticity and fidelity to the source material. In addition, this production represents an effort to expand the universe beyond the previous films and spin-offs, including the five Fantastic Beasts films, which offered other perspectives as prequels.

In fact, the details of their development remain a subject of great interest and speculation. Also, adapting each book into a season promises a deep and detailed immersion into the story and characters, something that the time constraints of the films did not quite allow. "Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation that will allow a degree of depth and detail only within the reach of a full-length television series," stated the British writer, confirming her involvement in this next release.
