For the last few years, J.K. Rowling‘s work has lived on through the film adaptations of her Fantastic Beasts series. The first two film adaptations have gone on to earn upwards of $1.5 billion at the box office. As most expect, the series will return for its third installment. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the next feature length film.
Warner Bros. Picture has announced that the third film in the Fantastic Beasts series will debut on November 12, 2021. Ron Sanders of Warner Bros. said, “J.K. Rowling created an awe-inspiring universe that has captivated people of all ages, taking us on an extraordinary magical journey.” He added, “Warner Bros. is so proud to be the cinematic home of the Wizarding World and is excited about the future of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.”
Tony Emmerich of Warner Bros. also hoped to add more context for the release date. He stated, “We all believe this release date will give the filmmakers time and space to allow their artistry to truly flourish and deliver the best possible film to our fans.”
The next film is projected to be the third in a five part series for Warner Bros. Production for the upcoming film is slated to begin in Spring 2020.
