Ron Moore Creates A Harry Potter-esque Show For NBC


Ronald D. Moore (I, Robot 2, Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome) is creating a wizarding world for NBC Universal. The fantasy show is described as “an adult Harry Potter set in a world ruled not by science but by magic.” The project was developed as part of a two-year deal with Sony TV.

Do you think Moore can pull off an “adult Harry Potter” world in the same way that he energized the Battlestar Galactica franchise for SyFy? In a television entertainment landscape filled with vampires, zombies, and witches, why not add variety with some wizarding magic?

I am cautiously optimistic about this one. His fledgling show last year, Virtuality, turned out to be just a two-hour pilot movie for Fox. It was promising and I wanted to see more but, no… there was no more! We’ll keep a close eye on this and let you know what happens.
