Peeves the Poltergeist will appear in the network's upcoming Harry Potter series after the troublemaking ghost was controversially cut from the original film series, Variety reported on Monday, June 15. British comedian Peter Serafinowicz has reportedly been cast as the beloved book character.
Peeves' antics against the students of Hogwarts and caretaker Argus Filch have never been seen in a film adaptation of Harry Potter, but the ghost has appeared in franchise video games, including Hogwarts Legacy.

Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films in the franchise, admitted in an August 2025 interview with RadioTimes that cutting Peeves from his adaptations was a major regret.
"There was so much we couldn't put in the films—they weren’t short, they were over two and a half hours long, but I still struggled," he told the outlet. "It still keeps me up at night sometimes."
