Each Harry Potter Book May Get a Season: 6 Upcoming Fantasy TV Series Ranked by Hype
Harry Potter Returns to Television
The series has attracted strong fan interest, though it has also faced controversy. Rowling’s views and actions toward the trans community are part of the discussion surrounding the franchise, and the show has drawn other controversy before its premiere.
Magic: The Gathering Gets Animated
Magic: The Gathering began as a collectible card game created by mathematician Richard Garfield after businessman Peter Adkison approached him in 1993. Players take the roles of wizards seeking to reduce their opponents’ life totals to zero.
An animated adaptation was reported in production in 2019, but the project stalled in development. Netflix announced in late 2024 that production would resume with Terry Matalas, known for 12 Monkeys and VisionQuest, as showrunner.
Fourth Wing Brings Dragons
Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing is the first book in the Empyrean series and is described as a new adult romantasy novel. Its protagonist, Violet, is a physically fragile scribe whose military general mother forces her to attend a dangerous war college.
At the college, Violet faces ruthless classmates, bonds with powerful dragons and uncovers secrets about the kingdom. The story also follows her developing feelings for a dangerous rival.
