Fantastic Beasts is now a five film saga!

The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series isn't going to stop at a mere three entries, with a total of five now planned.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is based on a single slim volume which was originally a made up text book in the world of Harry Potter. Then it became a big screen feature, then a trilogy and now there's a full five film saga in the works!

The news came out last night at a special fan event which was broadcast around the world. Author J.K. Rowling made a surprise appearance alongside stars like Colin Farrell to make the annoucement. She's also writing the films this time around. Head to 50.45 in this to check out the reaction.
