A "Harry Potter" TV show is in the works.

Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed it's expanding the wizarding world with an upcoming TV series on its streaming service.

The news was announced Wednesday during a press event in Los Angeles where it was also confirmed that HBO Max's name will change to just "Max" in May as part of the 2022 merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery.

The upcoming untitled "Harry Potter" series will feature a new cast to bring a new generation into the wizarding world franchise created by author J.K. Rowling.

Though no cast or time period for the show was announced, the series will be a "faithful adaptation of the beloved original Harry Potter books."

"We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way," said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO & Max content in a press release shared with Insider. "Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World." The series will "dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years."

In the same release, Rowling said: "Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long-form television series."

Rowling will serve as an executive producer on the series along with Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts. "Harry Potter" franchise producer David Heyman is also in talks to executive produce.

Twitter users took to the platform to criticize Max for its decision to involve Rowling, who has been accused of making transphobic comments, in the project.

Max did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Max original will stream on the service in the US and globally.

Warner Bros.' eight "Harry Potter" films are one of the studio's most successful franchises, grossing over $7 billion worldwide at theaters.
