J.K. Rowling, the British author and genius of sorts, is far from done when it comes to writing books or writing for the big screen. After penning and having a crucial role behind the scenes in the Harry Potter films, she has a lot more content coming up.
There’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the prequel to the Harry Potter films with a brilliant star-cast that released in 2016. Its sequel, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, is set to release this year with Johnny Depp essaying Gellert Grindelwald.
While the Potter world and its back-story will continue with these films, J.K. Rowling also penned a series of books, known as Cormoran Strike series under a pseudonym, Robert Galbraith.
An adaptation was to be expected. The detective series, reported Deadline, “which is known as Strike in the UK and ran as C.B. Strike on HBO’s sister network Cinemax, is returning with Lethal White, a four-episode run based on the latest book.”
Piers Wenger of BBC Drama said on the occasion: “We are delighted to announce that the Strike series will return to BBC One with Lethal White. J. K. Rowling, once more in the guise of Robert Galbraith, has delivered another brilliant, knotty and original crime story. We are honoured to be working with Jo and once more with Holliday and Tom as Robin and Strike, to bring this hit series back to BBC One.”
