Sure, we may still be seven months or so out from the release of Mark Mylod and Francesca Gardiner&#8217;s <em>Harry Potter And The Philosopher&#8217;s Stone<\/em> on HBO Max, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped HBO from moving quickly to confirm the future of its ambitious Wizarding World reboot. Per <em>Deadline<\/em>&#8216;s reporting, the TV and streaming giant has already given the greenlight to <em>Harry Potter<\/em> Season 2 \u2014 presumably soon to be officially titled <em>Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets<\/em> after the second book in JK Rowling&#8217;s boy wizard saga.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>As confirmed by <em>Deadline<\/em>, the second season of <em>Harry Potter<\/em> \u2014 which is due to begin filming later this year ahead of <em>The Philosopher&#8217;s Stone<\/em>&#8216;s Christmas release \u2014 will bring with it a little bit of a shake-up on the creative side of things. While Francesca Gardiner is set to continue as the series&#8217; showrunner, for the saga&#8217;s second instalment she won&#8217;t be going it alone: Season 1 writer and fellow <em>Succession<\/em> alum Jon Brown is being promoted to co-showrunner for Season 2 as Harry (Dominic McLaughlin), Ron (Alastair Stout), and Hermione (Arabella Stanton) prepare to tackle giant spiders, bloody basilisks, and Moaning Myrtle.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we have laid out our plans for the overlapping production schedules to finish season one by Christmas and to return to production for season two this Autumn, it has become clear that bringing on a co-showrunner is the key to maintaining our momentum,\u201d said Gardner in a statement following Brown&#8217;s appointment as co-showrunner. \u201cI\u2019ve loved working with Jon from the very first day we met on&nbsp;<em>Succession<\/em>&nbsp;through to these recent times together on&nbsp;<em>Harry Potter.<\/em>&nbsp;Not only do I have huge admiration for his writing, but he\u2019s also a brilliant collaborator and a lovely person. We are lucky to have him.\u201d Added Brown in his own statement: &#8220;I\u2019m incredibly excited to be collaborating with Francesca as co-showrunner. It has been a joy to write on&nbsp;<em>Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em>&nbsp;and I\u2019d like to thank Francesca and HBO for putting their faith in me to continue this remarkable journey. Seems you\u2019re never too old to get your invitation to Hogwarts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, production on <em>Harry Potter And The Philosopher&#8217;s Stone<\/em> \u2014 whose veritable constellation of stars includes Nick Frost, Paapa Essiedu, John Lithgow, and Janet McTeer among others \u2014 is still actually underway. But with that Christmas Day release date looming, and plans for <em>The Chamber Of Secrets<\/em> quickly coming together, it won&#8217;t be long before we&#8217;re back aboard the Hogwarts Express for the beginning of another seven-year stint at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear ye, hear ye muggles \u2014 HBO Harry Potter news coming at you faster than a Nimbus 2000!
