Casey Bloys says ‘Harry Potter’ season 2 is being written ‘now’:

HBO boss Casey Bloys said this recently The Times of London that the network is already developing the second season of the highly anticipated TV series ‘Harry Potter’.

“Our goal is not to have a big gap, especially as the kids get older,” Bloys said. “It won’t be an annual show; the show is too big and too massive. But… they are now writing the second season.”

The HBO series stars Dominic McLaughlin as the titular boy-who-lived Harry Potter, joined by Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. The cast also includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch, Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby as Petunia and Vernon Dursley and Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley.

This series is poised to be a faithful adaptation of JK Rowling’s seven novels, with each season following one book. The recently released Season 1 trailer featured iconic moments from the series’ first installment, “The Sorcerer’s Stone,” including Harry receiving his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, meeting Ron on the Hogwarts Express and unpacking a Quidditch broomstick. It also gave quick looks at Dumbledore, Snape, Draco Malfoy, Mr. Ollivander, the Sorting Hat and more.

HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ series is filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Great Britain. The series is led by showrunner Francesca Gardiner and “Succession” director Mark Mylod, who directed several episodes. Executive producers include Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts and David Heyman.
