The mainline Harry Potter film franchise might have long been over, but Warner Bros. Pictures has kept the series going with spin-offs.
In particular, Warner Bros. has released a pair of movies as part of the Fantastic Beasts series, which centers around the adventures of Newt Scamander, Luna Lovegood's grandfather-in-law. However, the "mild" success of 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - the film made $654.9 million in the box office against a $200 million budget, which is the lowest box office take in the franchise - made audiences worry if the supposedly five-film series would continue.
With that said, we've now got confirmation that the Fantastic Beasts series will live on. Not only that, but Potterheads received good news when Warner Bros. confirmed that the third film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, will release on April 15, 2022.
The story of Fantastic Beasts so far - SPOILER ALERT!
Just as the first two Fantastic Beasts movies, J.K. Rowling will return to write the story for The Secrets of Dumbledore. David Yates is also back on the director's chair. We can also expect Eddie Redmayne to reprise his role as Newt Scamander along with Jude Law's Albus Dumbledore.
