The announcement of this prospective merger comes only days before Warner Bros.

on Apr 05, 2023

According to reports, Warner Bros. Discovery is focusing on creating a new "Harry Potter" television series based on J.K. Rowling's blockbuster book series. Each book in the series would be featured in the planned project, and each season would focus on a different novel. This may lead to a long-running franchise for the company, and given the popularity of the movie series and books, the show might likewise aim high.

Bloomberg reports that talks between Warner Bros. Discovery and Rowling's team are still in the early stages. The studio intends to show the series on its soon-to-be-rebranded streaming channel HBO Max.

According to the source, JK Rowling may have some creative involvement, but she will not be the principal creator or showrunner. For some years, Warner Bros. has been investigating the idea of a "Harry Potter" TV series, with speculations first surfacing in January 2021, before Discovery purchased WarnerMedia in 2022.

The announcement of this prospective merger comes only days before Warner Bros. Discovery's investor and public presentation on April 12. The business will promote its new streaming content and may reveal the HBO Max and Discovery+ combination during the demo.
