HBO's Harry Potter has already created a massive buzz even before its release. While fans are excited for the debut of Season 1, the network has confirmed that the next season of the long-form adaptation of J. K. Rowling’s bestselling books is also under development.
Harry Potter season 2 confirmed
Casey Bloys, CEO of HBO, revealed the update during an interview with The Times of London. He shared that the writing for season 2 began even before the first season. He also assured that the team is actively working behind the scenes so that the audience will not have to wait for longer between seasons.
"Our goal is to not have a huge gap, you know, especially because the kids are growing. It’s not going to be an annual; the show is too big and too massive. But … they’re writing the season two now," Bloys said.
