Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in theaters on November 18 with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 set for release on November 16, 2018.
Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling is making her screenwriting debut with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, so this movie is about as authentic as can be.
So it seems like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 will have even more connective tissue to the Harry Potter world that fans are more familiar with.
Prior to that announcement, months before the first movie’s release, the studio announced that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 would be released on November 16, 2018.
