Speaking to Entertainment Weekly at the Toronto International Film Festival, Gary Oldman spoke about the series that could therefore provide an opportunity to explore characters such as Sirius with greater depth, even though Oldman himself is not expected to reprise the role.
He stated, "We had to cut a lot, and still we could only get the films down to, like three hours. I believe the TV series is gonna do it pretty much word-for-word, which I think as a viewer would be more satisfying." Talking about the films in which a lot of character detail was sacrificed, he said, "So, I wish them luck with it."

“When you think of that initial cast, someone in the story who doesn’t get a lot of credit anymore is Chris Columbus, who set the world up and cast it. We were extraordinarily lucky to have those people come back again, and again, and again, and literally grow into those roles," Gary Oldman said.
