Rowling's iconic book series, is written and executive produced by Francesca Gardiner, who also serves as showrunner. Mark Mylod will executive produce and direct multiple episodes. The series will explore "every corner of the wizarding world", and each season "will bring 'Harry Potter' and its incredible adventures to new and existing audiences".
