Production will take place at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, the same location where the original eight movies were filmed.

A fresh production team has also been announced, including talented individuals such as Adriano Goldman, known for his work on "The Crown," and hair and makeup designer Cate Hall. With an audiences' excitement building, the first season is set to premiere in 2027. Stay tuned for more updates as this enchanting journey begins!
