Following the announcement in April that British author J.K. Rowling's book series, which was also adapted into films, would be filmed as a TV series with a new cast, Warner Bros. Discovery has begun taking the first steps regarding the project.
The studio has begun hearing initial pitches from screenwriters competing for the rights to adapt J.K. Rowling's seven books for the series project, which was first announced in 2021 and has been in early development for a long time.
According to Deadline, the team, which held its first round of meetings in Los Angeles this week, stated that after making their best selections there, they would move on to the next round in the United Kingdom.
J.K. ROWLING IS EXPECTED TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE
It is not yet clear how involved Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, will be in the process. However, she is expected to play an active role in the decision-making process for the series, for which she serves as an executive producer.
It was stated that the screenwriters whose projects Warner Bros. Discovery has been hearing include Kathleen Jordan, Martha Hillier, Tom Moran, and Michael Lesslie.
