The Most Troubled Epic Fantasy Franchise Is Definitely Dead
Briefly

"The Wizarding World is currently going through a major facelift; unfortunately, it's not one that anyone actually asked for. Warner Bros. surprised fans when it announced the development of a Harry Potter TV reboot, and with the show finally gaining traction, there doesn't seem to be any room in the franchise for anything else."
"J.K. Rowling, the controversial steward of Fantastic Beasts, once envisioned a five-film franchise, but after its third installment failed to make a real impact, WB put the saga on hold."
"It began as a lower-stakes offshoot of the Wizarding World, following magizoologist Newt Scamander on his misadventures in muggle society. As the story continued, its scope grew to include powerful wizards..."
"I know it's certainly on hold," Law said of the Fantastic Beasts series. "My guess would be that, now that they're doing Harry Potter as a series, that we probably have seen the last of Newt Scamander."
