That movie was released in 2022, though, and it seems like development on a subsequent installment won't be moving forward at Warner Bros., at least for the time being. In an interview with Deadline from October 2023, Yates confirmed as much. “With Beasts, it's all just parked.
The most recent Fantastic Beasts 4 news came on October 26, 2023, and could be the final nail in the coffin for the struggling Harry Potter prequel franchise. As reported by Deadline, filmmaker David Yates has confirmed that the Fantastic Beasts franchise has been parked and development isn't continuing.
Are there still going to be 5 Fantastic Beasts movies?

Newt would go on to marry Porpentina Goldstein, an American witch, and together they had at least one child, presumably a son. The Scamander family was "not impressed" by Newt's career in Magizoology. Rolf Scamander, Newt and Tina's grandson, married Luna Lovegood sometime between 1998 and 2011.
The Fantastic Beasts Franchise Is OFFICIALLY Dead..
Did Newt and Tina have a child?
The couple had at least one child, through whom they had a grandson, Rolf Scamander, who married Luna Lovegood, and through whom Tina and Newt had two known great-grandsons, Lorcan and Lysander.
Quentin Kowalski may be a descendant of Jacob and Queenie Goldstein, though this would breach Rappaport's Law. Queenie and Jacob would need to have left the United States of America to marry as to protect Queenie from prosecution.
Albus Dumbledore was born on August 1881 and was killed by Severus Snape on June 30, 1997, when he was almost 116 years old, which is not that old for a wizard. If Dumbledore hadn't tried to wear Salazar Slytherin's ring, it's very possible that he would have lived around 30 years longer.
Later, Newt explains to older brother Theseus that Tina has been promoted to Head Auror for MACUSA. Her new role is why she cannot join Newt and Dumbledore on their mission to thwart Grindelwald's plans to be elected to the International Confederation of Wizards.
The Fantastic Beasts franchise wasn't as successful as the eight Harry Potter original films. This happened because it expanded beyond its original premise, losing the charm of the first film and confusing audiences.
Death. Fifty-three years after his defeat, Grindelwald was slain in his prison cell by Lord Voldemort, who was searching for the Elder Wand for himself. It was only during the confrontation in Grindelwald's cell that Voldemort learned Albus Dumbledore had claimed the wand long ago.
As a result, Fantastic Beasts 4 is currently unlikely. But even if the film happens, we shouldn't expect Johnny Depp to come back to his role as Grindelwald. After replacing Depp as the Wizarding World villain, actor Mads Mikkelsen teased that Depp could still return to the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore confirmed that Credence Barebone/Aurelius Dumbledore (Ezra Miller) is the new Snape (Alan Rickman) through a very familiar line delivered by Aberforth Dumbledore (Richard Coyle). Fantastic Beasts 3 finally shed light on the Credence being Aurelius Dumbledore plot twist.
Considering the length of time between the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Harry Potter films, it seems unlikely that Newt would have a reason to visit Hogwarts. In addition, Newt was expelled from Hogwarts when he was a student, making his return even less likely.
Newt's contributions to Magizoology earned him the Order of Merlin, Second Class, and was also honored with his very own Chocolate Frog Card. He retired in the early 1990s and lived in Dorset with Tina and their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler.
Dumbledore kicks some serious ass, especially when it comes to wizarding duels, but in a contest of all-out brawls, the points have to go to Gandalf. Gandalf will frequently throw himself into the heat of battle, dispatching orc after orc with his sword and staff combo.
Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was about 150 years old. However, on her website, she states that Dumbledore was born in 1881, making him either 115 or 116 at the time of his death.
Newt's difficulties in social situations align with traits commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While the movies do not explicitly label Newt as autistic, his behaviors and interactions reflect characteristics that resonate with individuals on the spectrum.
Newt is portrayed as a character who is more comfortable with magical creatures than with people, often avoiding direct eye contact and displaying idiosyncratic social behavior.
As depicted in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Newt Scamander visits Hogwarts in 1993 or 1994 for some unknown reason, thus appearing on the Marauder's Map. Newt writes A Children's Anthology of Monsters, an edition for younger readers. As of 2017, Newt Scamander is still "alive and well".
Given the unfortunate tendency that wands had of rebelling and backfiring when handled by Muggles, this particular wand did not have a core, and thus was incapable of producing magic despite being completely authentic-looking. As such, it was regarded as a "fake wand".
Family members. Jacob Kowalski — an American No-Maj former factory worker and baker who befriended Newt Scamander. Jan Kowalski — a Polish nobleman. Mr Kowalski — brother of Jacob; killed in the First World War.
