HBO boss Casey Bloys recently told The Times of London that the network is already developing the second season of the highly anticipated “Harry Potter” TV series.

“Our goal is to not have a huge gap, you know, especially because the kids are growing,” Bloys said. “It’s not going to be an annual; the show is too big and too massive. But … they’re writing the season two now.”

In the HBO series, Dominic McLaughlin stars as the titular boy who lived, Harry Potter, joined by Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. The ensemble 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 J.K. 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 getting his Hogwarts acceptance letter, meeting Ron on the Hogwarts Express and unwrapping 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 was shot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K. The series is led by showrunner Francesca Gardiner and “Succession” director Mark Mylod, who helmed multiple episodes. Executive producers include Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts and David Heyman.
