Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is airing tonight on TV

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

Add a magical start to your week tonight with a little visit to the Wizarding World—the 2018 fantasy film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will air Sunday, May 19 at 7pm Eastern on NBC. Delving into the magical land has been a seemingly regular occurrence for the broadcaster; the channel has been airing films from the Harry Potter universe throughout the year.

The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second film in the David Yates-directed Fantastic Beasts franchise, following 2016’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them; the series is a spin-off prequel to the Harry Potter films as well as the J.K. Rowling-penned novels from which they were adapted. Set in the 1920s, the Fantastic Beasts movies follow British wizard and "magizoologist" Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) as he faces the rise of Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), the greatest dark wizard to ever live before Voldemort took that ominous title.
