Variety is reporting that a release date has been set for the second film in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trilogy. It is currently slated to be released on November 16th 2016, just over 2 years after the first installment. We shared last month that director David Yates said Rowling had already completed the screenplay for the film. Yates will also return to direct the sequel.

According to the press release:

The second “Fantastic Beasts” movie moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world, where Newt and our other heroes have to decide on their allegiances.

Warner Bros. also states that “there is much more on the horizon, all highlighting that the global interest in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World in every medium is stronger than ever.”
