Magic is in the air, quite literally, with the upcoming series revolving around Harry Potter, with a brand new cast taking up the iconic characters of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. However, it now appears that HBO has a long-term plan for the upcoming series, as confirmed by the renewal of HBO’s Harry Potter series for a second season. Here are all the details you should know about this exciting update.
Season 2 of HBO’s Harry Potter Series is Being Written
HBO and HBO Max boss Casey Bloys recently showcased the upcoming slate of HBO in a press preview event at HBO’s Hudson Yards headquarters in New York. During the event, Bloys displayed several pieces of footage from various upcoming shows.
However, the presentation did not feature any clips from the upcoming Harry Potter series or any BTS footage with the new cast, but instead, he revealed something a lot better, telling us that a season 2 of the series is currently being written as the first season is being filmed in the Kingdom. In his statement, Bloys said-
“They’re still shooting Season 1, obviously. They’re writing Season 2. So the plan is to try and get it I don’t know if it’s going to be like, stop shooting Season 1 on Friday and start Season 2 on Monday. There will be a break in there, But we’re going to do whatever we can to not have a huge gap, for the kids, obviously, but also for viewers. We’re trying not to have massive gaps. It is a big show. Lots of special effects, obviously, a massive operation. But we’re going to do what we can, for the kids ages, but also for viewers as well.”
This update from HBO points towards much bigger plans for the franchise in the future. Considering that we have still to see any footage from the first season, it would be a bit too early to comment on the quality we can see, but looking at the enthusiasm surrounding the Harry Potter Series, the prospects seem rather positive. So, let’s wait and see what HBO brings us and stay tuned with us for any further updates.
