Harry Potter is going back to Hogwarts!

HBO Max and Discovery+ announced their new scripted series during a press presentation on April 12. The streaming services also announced their new combined platform, titled Max.

“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” said chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content Casey Bloys. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
