HBO’s upcoming reboot of Harry Potter is officially set to premiere later this year, but the network has already sealed the fate of the fantasy adaption. Titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Season 1 is set to adapt the first installment of the best-selling novels. And it sounds like fans won’t have to wait too long until the next book gets the small screen treatment.
It has been announced by HBO that Harry Potter has been renewed for Season 2, which will adapt The Chamber of Secrets. Additionally, it has been confirmed that writer Jon Brown has been promoted to co-showrunner alongside Francesca Gardiner, who released the following statement:
“As we have laid out our plans for the overlapping production schedules to finish Season 1 by Christmas and to return to production for Season 2 this autumn, it has become clear that bringing on a co-showrunner is the key to maintaining our momentum. I’ve loved working with Jon from the very first day we met on ‘Succession’ through to these recent times together on ‘Harry Potter.’ Not only do I have huge admiration for his writing, but he’s also a brilliant collaborator and a lovely person. We are lucky to have him.”
More to come.
