HBO renews Harry Potter TV series for season 2

booksMay 7, 2026251,825

HBO greenlit a second season of its Harry Potter television series. Filming is scheduled for this autumn and the new season is expected to adapt J.K. Rowling's second novel, The Chamber of Secrets. The renewal keeps HBO's long-form adaptation moving forward and gives the series room to expand plotlines and character detail that the films condensed.

I want this nostalgia slop show to fail so fucking bad. HBO deserves to lose a ton of money for doing business with Rowling. screenrant.com/harry-potter...

We threw out the books, deleted the movies. I will have nothing to do with an evil malevolent bigot like JK Rowling. We don't honor bigots in this house. One of my kids was assigned some reading on Rowling this year. I emailed the teacher and said, "We're not doing that". They were cool w/ that.

what is the exciting new change? Hogwarts adds a prison camp?

I normally root for HBO as their shows tend to be decent but throwing their lot in with this new production has me right there with you... I hope they loose a crap ton of money over this.

Even if it wasn't funneling money into various transphobic political movements through Rowling, this trend of recycling properties while adding nothing for the sake of the endless content mill needs to end.

I feel sorry for the child workers.

All the promo shots for this show look like a cheap Hallmark version of Harry Potter. Are people actually watching this terfy crap?

surely it will bomb. The left hates Rowling and the right hates that they've diversified the cast.

The literal only exciting new change would be them executing JK Rowling on live television.

Oh so you don't approve of strong women standing up for women's rights?

We need a tesla takedown style campaign to get folks to drop HBO once this crap premieres.

They haven’t even aired the first season????? What the fuck is this bullshit???

Whoever wrote that headline missed a golden opportunity to use the word “transition” instead of “change”.

The one thing to look forward to is the kids denouncing her as they grow up.

I'm so disappointed with John Lithgow

First season has not even aired. They are dumbasses for already renewing a Season 2 - just blindly assuming people will watch this crap.

Looks like the Speaker of the House. Is this his origin story?

If ppl derive joy from watching a Harry Potter reboot that’s a good thing. And I’d bet most ppl don’t know about her views and really her views are irrelevant to enjoying her stories. Life is too short to get bent out of shape over something like this.

J.K. Rowling is an intelligent and successful women with integrity who has the courage to speak truthfully. Of course not everyone can handle the truth, but the truth still remains just the same...

So, released shows that already have an audience and are sometimes very good get cancelled, but shows that haven't even been released yet get renewed before people see them? Proof the money and jobs aren't going where they should, I think.

We need to do this as a society to Harry Potter & JK Rowlin!

I feel kind of bad for the kids she cast in the lead roles. They're gonna get Jake Lloyd'ed.

Like the original movie is work great. Why do we need to remake them. I have no desire to watch this

Elizabeth2

We've exited the TERF train. I wish more would join. She doubles down at every opportunity and it's just gross.

FUPA Troopa2

I didn't realize season one dropped yet because nobody I follow wants this shit

💿📀☃️💿📀2

dont share it with any one, just like cringe trek we got to stop till just after they cancel it. No one saw "Harry potter and the HBO license debate" and no one ever will.

It’s like Seinfeld for me with Trumpers in the fold: I bought the dvds used and ripped them. No extra money. Bye.

I never could get into the HP books. At the time I remember reading: Mud bloods? Muggles? Is that like... Niggles? Are we really doing this?

Mario "Brother" Margheriti2

A super duper mega-sized F U C K Y O U to everyone watching and supporting this

Scsigs2

Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. They've already renewed it for a second season & seem pretty steadfast in their investment into this series. The actors are also ready to spend 6 more years on this show minimum & the main target audience seems to be fans of the books who were...

Brutally Frank2

As always, I weep for the children. They’re all probably really talented kids, and it’s too bad so much baggage has been latched onto this franchise. All because JK is a d-bag.

Of all the things I won't be watching, this is the one I won't be watching the most.
