The third season of HBO's hit TV series "The White Lotus" will premiere in February, followed months later by the second instalment of "The Last of Us," Warner Bros. Discovery said Thursday.

The first Harry Potter television series is set to be made, with author JK Rowling acting as an executive producer, Warner Bros. Discovery announced on April 12.

Rowling has recently faced accusations of transphobia for putting an emphasis on biological sex over gender identity in comments about trans women. She denies the accusation.

A sequel to Game of Thrones, entitled "House of the Dragon," has been commissioned by HBO, WarnerMedia reported.

The new epic fantasy world of George R.R. Martin will follow events that happened 300 years before the events of the hit television series "Game of Thrones" and is based on the book "Fire and Blood", AFP reported.

Game of Thrones fans will have to wait until 2019 for the planned final season of the award-winning series, a gap of more than a year since the end of season seven, reported the Guardian.

Cable channel HBO said on Thursday that the program would return in 2019 for a six-episode final season. It did not specify the month.
