Many fans have been asking if Daniel Radcliffe will be taking part in the new HBO remake of Harry Potter and he finally put all the rumors to rest.
The Harry Potter film series ended in 2012 with the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2. Warner Bros expanded on the film universe with the Fantastic Beast series. However, fans have been clamoring to explore more of the Wizarding world.
Warner Bros responded to the demand from fans by announcing a new Harry Potter TV series on Max. The upcoming TV show will retell the story of Harry and his friends based on the novels by J.K. Rowling.
While Radcliffe is excited that a new series is coming, the actor revealed he isn’t part of it. Speaking to ComicBook for the Miracles Workers: End Times TV series on TBS, the actor shared that he will not be making a cameo in the new series.
“My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to have to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” Radcliffe said. “So I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world and I’m very excited to have that torch passed. But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”
The upcoming Max series will be a long-format TV show and will likely have a run time of something similar to the hit HBO medieval drama series, Game of Thrones. There will reportedly be a season for each of the books meaning fans will be getting at least seven seasons.
What’s next for Daniel Radcliffe?
The Hogwarts alumnus will be returning for Season 4 of Miracle Workers, the anthology comedy television series on TBS.
The synopsis for the fourth season reads, “In a post-apocalyptic future, a wasteland warrior (Daniel Radcliffe) and a ruthless warlord (Geraldine Viswanathan) face the most dystopian nightmare of all: settling down in the suburbs. Together they navigate the existential horrors of married life and small-town living, all under the dubious guidance of a wealthy junk trader (Steve Buscemi). Also starring Jon Bass as the couple’s faithful war dog, and Karan Soni as a kill-bot who loves to party. Guest stars this season include, Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Garcelle Beauvais (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Kyle Mooney (Saturday Night Live), Ego Nwodim (Saturday Night Live), Lolly Adefope (Shrill), Paul F. Tompkins (HouseBroken), and Lisa Loeb (Robot Chicken).”
