As the filming start date for HBO's Harry Potter series approaches, news about the show has been pouring in. This includes mostly rumors and official announcements regarding the cast of the mega-series. However, other aspects of the series are receiving less attention.

One of these aspects is the content of the adaptations of J.K. Rowling's books. HBO promised that the series would be a faithful adaptation of the source material. Compared to the films, the series' length offers the potential for more detail, especially for books 4 through 7, which are dense volumes that lost a lot in the cinema adaptations.

X

Today, for the first time, Rowling shares information about the series' content on her X account. ''I have read the first two episodes of the upcoming HBO 'Harry Potter' series and they are SO, SO, SO GOOD!'', she writes excitedly.

Rowling has been relatively quiet about her involvement with the series – and generally about her thoughts on the project. However, today she provided more insight in response to a fan's question.

Writers

''So you're not writing for the series yourself?'', asked one of her followers. Rowling's response was clear: ''No, but I have been closely collaborating with the extremely talented writers.''

How the scripts, which Rowling is so enthusiastic about, will look on television screens will be revealed in late 2026 or early 2027: that’s when season 1 of the fantasy series will debut on HBO Max.

Six years after the second season of Mindhunter, fans of the chilling crime series may finally see a ray of hope. Actor Holt McCallany, who portrayed FBI agent Bill Tench in the show, has now revealed that a comeback could be on the horizon!

In an interview with CBR, McCallany shared that he has recently been in talks with creator and director David Fincher about a potential sequel. He begins by saying: "We discussed it a few months ago".

A Different Format

According to McCallany, it might look different if it does happen: "There’s a chance the series would return in the form of a trilogy. Each film would last about two hours".

"I must add that it’s not certain yet. It’s a possibility, but no guarantee. I know the writers are currently working on a story, but David needs to be satisfied with it first. Only once he approves the script can we move forward".

Waiting Game

Fans were extremely disappointed when the series was abruptly canceled, and Fincher has also been reserved. The director, known for other masterpieces like Se7en and Fight Club, is proud of Mindhunter, but found it to be an exhausting process.

Whether it will happen remains to be seen. However, there is renewed hope for Mindhunter fans that positive news may emerge soon.
