The Harry Potter TV series is officially a go at Max, the streaming service known until today as HBO Max.

"The Warner Bros Discovery CEO, David Zaslav, announced the new service, which combines the original HBO Max with Discovery+, along with the tentpole series based on JK Rowling’s books, on during a presentation on Wednesday, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The live-action series, based on all seven books in the series published between 1997 and 2007, will become a “decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for”, according to a statement from the newly branded Max. “The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.”

“Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.”

Rowling will executive-produce the series, alongside Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts. David Heyman, who executive-produced all eight of the Harry Potter feature films (released between 2001 and 2011), is also in talks to executive-produce. . ."
