‘Harry Potter’ TV Series Due To Hit HBO In 2026: Everything We Know About The Cast, Who’s Creating It, What J.K. Rowling Says & More


All the news on HBO's streaming 'Harry Potter' TV series, including cast, release date, how to watch, development and whether J.K. Rowling will be involved.

“I was in London a few weeks ago with Casey [Bloys, CEO of HBO] and Channing [Dungey, chairperson of Warner Bros Television] and we spent some real time with JK and her team,” he enthused. No offers have yet been made, but the series may look to age down these adult characters, with Sharon Horgan ( Bad Sisters), Paapa Essiedu ( I May Destroy You), Brett Goldstein ( Ted Lasso, Shrinking) and Mark Strong among names circulating in the rumor mill for McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid and Dumbledore, respectively. “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 which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series,” said Rowling in a statement.
