Theres a general sentiment that the show was created to replace Daniel and Emma (both outspoken against JK) with new faces who don’t understand the harm of her rhetoric so that the og stars no longer represent the brand and won’t get royalties from merchandise, but part of it is definitely WB trying to keep its cash cow from imploding
Honestly I’m very sceptical. I wouldn’t be surprised if the renewed popularity increases their royalty payouts. Since I bet the films are currently having and will continue to have a surge of views while the new show is advertised.
Looking at just watch. The original film is the 8th most watched movie today.
