Warner Bros.’ upcoming “Harry Potter” series and the “It” prequel “Welcome to Derry” are moving from Max to HBO, cementing the premium cable brand as the home for the media conglomerate’s big-budget IP projects moving forward, TheWrap has learned.
The move comes as HBO announced an official series order for its long-gestating “Green Lantern” TV series “Lanterns,” bringing the first live-action project from the new DC Universe into the network’s purview. That’s as opposed to Max, which previously debuted DC shows “Peacemaker” and the upcoming “The Batman” spin-off, “The Penguin.”
The strategy shift will begin to take shape with 2025 releases, as “The Penguin” and the upcoming “Dune” spin-off series “Dune: Prophecy” are expected to stay under the Max umbrella having already been sold overseas as such, as first reported by Variety.
