Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts Movies To Air On Paramount Networks

All eight original Harry Potter movies and the three Fantastic Beasts films will soon be available to a wider audience through Paramount’s linear television networks. This marks the first time the complete Wizarding World film collection has aired on these channels.

The move comes as excitement builds for the upcoming Harry Potter television series on HBO, which premieres December 25, 2026. Original films continue to draw new viewers, and this linear network deal ensures they reach fans who might not have streaming subscriptions.

A New Home for the Wizarding World

Paramount’s suite of linear networks - including channels like Nickelodeon, MTV, and Comedy Central—offers a classic television viewing experience. The specific schedule and network assignments have not yet been announced.

The Harry Potter franchise remains a massive priority for Warner Bros. Discovery, and this licensing deal demonstrates the enduring power of the Wizarding World. While the new HBO series will reimagine the books, the original films remain a beloved entry point for millions.

Fans can look out for the films to start airing in the coming months, just as production on the second season of the HBO series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, gets underway. As the Wizarding World continues to expand across platforms, the arrival of these films on Paramount’s networks is another sign that the magic is more alive than ever.
