00:00HBO is giving more details about their new Harry Potter series.

00:09gave updates on all of the studio's big projects like Shrinking, Abbott Elementary, Ted Lasso, and more.

00:15But one that's really had everyone talking is the Harry Potter reboot.

00:18There's not a lot to talk about at this moment.

00:21We've got our fantastic writing staff in place, and they are doing what they need to do.

00:24And casting calls have opened up in the UK and Ireland, so the process is moving along.

00:29It's going quite well.

00:30When probed further on the excitement of having an IP like Harry Potter to play with,

00:34Dungey said,

00:35And as somebody who is a huge fan of books, the opportunity to get to explore them

00:41may be a little bit more in-depth than you can in just a two-hour film.

00:45That's the whole reason we're on this journey.

00:47In June, the series named Francesca Gardner as its writer and showrunner

00:51and tapped Mark Mila to direct multiple episodes.

00:54Both are Emmy winners for HBO's Succession.

00:56Elsewhere, Dungey also gave an update on Ted Lasso,

00:59noting that star, head writer, and co-creator Jason Sudeikis

01:02is really excited about the upcoming Season 4.

01:06We had always been clear that there wasn't going to be more Ted Lasso

01:09if Jason and the team weren't feeling excited about it.

01:11I can tell you firsthand that he's in a place where he's feeling really excited

01:15and very good about it.
