Casting calls for main roles have been issued in the UK and Ireland, inviting children of all ethnicities to audition.
The series is planned to span seven seasons, with each season covering one book from the series.
Production is expected to start in 2025, with a potential release on HBO and Max anticipated for late 2026 or 2027.
