Ronald D Moore, the man behind the ever popular Battlestar Galactica has a new series picked up. And that series is being described as an “adult themed Harry Potter” police procedural.
Moore will produce a drama which is described as an “adult themed Harry Potter” police procedural for NBC. The project, from Sony TV (who Moore signed a two-year overall deal with this May), is reported to have received close to $2 million dollars in pilot and series penalties.
As far as long running franchises that come to a logical close, Harry Potter has a lot of potential to spinoff with the Aurors and a dozen other fantastical elements that blur the line of magic and reality living in concert with each other. But this will not be a Harry Potter product, however it could prove as proof that an Aurors film would work. If of course, it works.
I am really looking forward to a serious police procedural that deals with the supernatural.
Can’t wait to see what comes of this.
