WBD is getting sued by Sky over the Harry Potter reboot series. Warner Bros. allegedly failed to offer Sky opportunities to co-produce at least 4 streaming shows per year from 2021-2023, despite claiming to have dozens in development.
Sky is entitled to retain all revenue from exploiting Harry Potter rights and is required to provide financing for at least 5 seasons of each series, with a 20-25% budget allocation for the first season.
Warner Bros. has exclusive rights to Harry Potter content in Europe for 20 years and plans to launch HBO Max in the region in 2026.
Sky filed a lawsuit in New York federal court, alleging Warner Bros. is trying to hoard Harry Potter content for its own streaming service, Max.
Warner Bros. claims the lawsuit is a baseless attempt by Sky and Comcast to gain leverage in 2026 negotiations for their programming.
The new Harry Potter series is expected to be available on HBO Max in Europe starting in 2026, potentially excluding Sky from co-producing and streaming the content.
