Eddie Redmayne’s Comments on "Fantastic Beasts"
Eddie Redmayne, who played Newt Scamander in the "Fantastic Beasts" series, revealed his thoughts on the postมี sequels of the franchise. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Redmayne stated, "I think they probably have [seen the last of Newt]," indicating that the character is unlikely to return anytime soon. Despite the uncertainty, Redmayne hinted at potential appearances by the character in the new "Fantastic Beasts"-themed land at Universal Epic Universe in Florida.
David Yates’ Perspective
David Yates, the director behind the "Fantastic Beasts" trilogy, shared his thoughts on the franchise’s pause in October 2023, explaining that the series had been "parked" by Warner Bros. Yates expressed his pride in the reception of the last film, "The Secrets of Dumbledore," and his excitement to return to the series once Warner Bros was ready. Despite the uncertainty, Yates expressed confidence that the series would eventually resume.
The Manufacture’s Redirection: Harry Potter Reboot for HBO

The company announced a reboot of the film franchise for the small screen, set to cover the magical journey of young Harry Potter. The series, planned over a 10-year span and to be produced through HBO and Max, will debut in late 2026 or 2027.
Streaming to Peacock
Beginning Nov. 1, fans of the "Fantastic Beasts" series can enjoy the trilogy on Peacock. The streaming service is proud to offer all three films for on-demand viewing, making it easier than ever to revisit the magical world of Newt Scamander and his incredible creatures.
