Behind The Scenes
Francesca Gardiner from “Succession” is writing and running the show. Mark Mylod, who directed “The Menu,” is handling several episodes. And yes, J.K. Rowling is involved as an executive producer.
The music? Hans Zimmer and his team at Bleeding Fingers Music are creating the score. That’s the guy who made us cry with “Inception” and “Interstellar” soundtracks!
Filming started in July 2025 at the famous Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden – the same place where the original movies were made.
Smart Planning: Season 2 is already being developed so the young actors can grow naturally with their characters, just like in the books!
