Channing Dungey Talks “Grappling” With “Fundamental Changes” In The Industry & The “Unbelievable Dream” Of Making A Harry Potter TV Series — MIPCOM

Dungey was questioned on big upcoming tentpoles and, while giving little away on Max’s Harry Potter TV series, said the small screen adaptation gifts an opportunity for Warners to explore the stories in more depth. She flagged, for example, how cable nets TNT and TBS could work together, and said having production and networks falling under one person could “hopefully avoid some of the complicated stuff” and improve collaboration.
