It seems that Franscesca is not the only showrunner anymore.
From article:
Jon Brown (HBO’s Succession), who is a writer on the first season, has been elevated to co-showrunner for Season 2 alongside Season 1 showrunner Francesca Gardiner.
Gardiner pointed to the accelerated production as a main reason for Brown’s elevation to co-showrunner.
“As we have laid out our plans for the overlapping production schedules to finish Season 1 by Christmas and to return to production for Season 2 this autumn, it has become clear that bringing on a co-showrunner is the key to maintaining our momentum,” Gardiner said. “I’ve loved working with Jon from the very first day we met on Succession through to these recent times together on Harry Potter. Not only do I have huge admiration for his writing, but he’s also a brilliant collaborator and a lovely person. We are lucky to have him.”
Succession alum Gardiner had brought in Brown to Harry Potter after working with him on the Emmy-winning HBO drama.
“I’m incredibly excited to be collaborating with Francesca as co-showrunner,” Brown said. “It has been a joy to write on Philosopher’s Stone, and I’d like to thank Francesca and HBO for putting their faith in me to continue this remarkable journey. Seems you’re never too old to get your invitation to Hogwarts.”
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, there is nothing special about Harry Potter — at least that’s what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic. But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past.
