It’s been nearly a year since it was first confirmed that the Harry Potter franchise was in development as a television series. The streaming service it will be on was still known as HBO Max at the time. Since then, we’ve heard very little about the new series, but it appears the wheels have been turning. And they may be about to speed up, as it’s being reported that the showrunner is close to being chosen, and fans of other HBO series might be excited.
Deadline reports that Francesca Gardiner, who was a consulting producer on the third and fourth seasons of Succession, as well as an executive producer of HBO’s His Dark Materials series is one of the finalists for the gig. She also co-produced AMC’s critically acclaimed Killing Eve.
