The new Severus Snape actor is “closing his deal” for the Harry Potter HBO series.
As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned HBO is developing an eagerly anticipated TV show based on J.K. Rowling’s captivating Harry Potter series! In this magical production, the esteemed John Lithgow will bring Professor Albus Dumbledore to life, while the talented Janet McTeer is in discussions to embody the character of Professor Minerva McGonagall. The anticipation is building!
Who is being eyed to play Severus Snape in the Harry Potter HBO show?
In December 2024, it was announced that Paapa Essiedu was not just being considered for the role of Professor Severus Snape, but had actually been given the opportunity to play the character.
As reported by Deadline, Essiedu appears to be finalizing his agreement for a role in the upcoming series, although the casting isn’t yet confirmed officially.
HBO acknowledged that with such an influential series, there might be plenty of gossip and conjecture. We’ll only reveal facts once we’ve solidified the agreements during the pre-production phase.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but appreciate the versatile talent of Essiedu. Known for his captivating performances in television series like Gangs of London, I May Destroy You, The Lazarus Project, Black Mirror, and Black Doves, he has truly made a name for himself. He portrayed Sergeant Campbell in Kenneth Branagh’s 2017 remake of Murder on the Orient Express. Following this, he graced our screens with his presence in Men (2022), Genie (2023), and The Outrun (2024).
Additionally, he’s involved with a British comedy-horror film called “The Scurry,” directed by Craig Roberts. This film revolves around a group of deadly squirrels, and its release date is yet to be announced. The cast includes Ella Purnell, Rhys Ifans, and Antonia Thomas as well.
As a gamer, I’m super excited about the upcoming Harry Potter TV series! This magical journey is being crafted by writer and showrunner Francesca Gardiner, along with director and executive producer Mark Mylod. While we don’t have an exact date yet, Deadline hints that it could premiere somewhere between late 2026 and early 2027. Can’t wait to dive back into the wizarding world!
