A photo shared by the official Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them account shows off the spiffy looking cast, along with the caption: “The heroes. The villains. The magic. In one year, return to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.”

Yep, it's time to get excited.

The sequel finds Grindelwald back on the loose as he starts pulling more over to his side, putting wizards above any other non-magical beings. The only one who may be able to keep him from wreaking any more havoc on the world is none other than Albus Dumbledore himself, according to the official synopsis.

The Fantastic Beastssequel will bring Eddie Redmayne back into the fold as Newt, with Johnny Depp taking up the role as the main antagonist Grindelwald. Jude Law will play young Dumbledore, and the rest of the cast will be rounded out by personalities like Zoe Kravitz, Katherine Waterston, and Ezra Miller, who all appeared in the first movie. 

The sequel to Fantastic Beasts is currently slated for a Nov. 16, 2018 release. That's only one year…

And we can't wait to get that theatrical trailer. (Hopefully ASAP)
