Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them added to USA Harry Potter marathon
By Callum Gunn
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been added to the Harry Potter marathon scheduled to air on the USA Network.
A Harry Potter marathon is on the way to the USA Network and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been included in this upcoming marathon. But the Harry Potter prequel will not be included in the SYFY marathon.
Commercials have been airing on the USA Network teasing Wizarding World fans how Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them would begin airing on the USA Network as part of the Harry Potter marathon. That tease is no longer a tease as we have an official air date.

Beginning on February 1, 2019, the Harry Potter marathon which will also include Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. However, it will not be airing on the SYFY network. The two networks, owned by NBC Universal, have the rights to show the Wizarding World movies until 2025, but for some reason, the first Fantastic Beasts movie is being left of the SYFY network.

Which is really odd if you ask me. However, it does make it slightly easier when trying to decide which network to tune into. The USA Network is clearly the obvious choice now between the two.
Whether or not this will always be the case in the future is not clear. It may change, but then again, it may not. We’ll keep an eye out on things if anything changes we’ll keep you up to date.
