Cormoran Strike: New book eight's release date finally confirmed - and it's sooner than you think
Shortly after the conclusion of Strike season six based on The Ink Black Heart by J.K. Rowling, written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith — it has been confirmed that the eighth novel in the series is set to be published later this year, and fans can't wait.
Confirming the news on Robert's X account, it was announced that "Strike and Robin’s story continues this September inThe Hallmarked Man," with preorders available from September 2, 2025, in hardback, eBook, and audiobook formats.
Fans quickly took to X to share their excitement. One person wrote, "Counting down the days until I dive back into Strike and Robin's world," while another added, "OMG, I hope that cliffhanger from the last book has some kind of resolution! Love this series." A third fan posted, "I am so excited for this!! Can't wait to see how Robin will handle the discovery at the end of the last book! And also, you know, the murders and whatnot, of course!"
J.K. Rowling previously confirmed that there will be ten no
The Hallmarked Man by Robert Galbraith review – a terrific, tightly plotted romp
In his popular BBC series Just One Thing, the late Michael Mosley made the case for resistance training. Lifting weights, he explained, not only builds stronger muscles, it also boosts the immune system, maintains a healthy heart and improves brain function. Best of all, it can be done in your kitchen, using ordinary domestic items: pints of milk in place of dumbbells, say, or squats wearing a backpack full of books.
Anyone intending to use Robert Galbraith’s Strike novels for this purpose would be advised to seek the advice of a GP. The Hallmarked Man may not be the heftiest of the eight so far – it does not even make it into the top three – but it still clocks in at a cool 912 pages. Galbraith’s tendency to whopperdom has in the past elicited a fair amount of griping from critics, me among them, who argued that judicious pruning would better serve her plots and her charismatic private detective duo, the sweary one-legged army veteran Cormoran Strike and his brave, decent business partner Robin Ellacott. Not that it changed anything. The books remained resolutely huge (as did sales – by 2024, a s

Cormoran Strike: when will book eight be released?
JK Rowling is currently working on the eighth novel of the Strike novels - but when can we anticipate it to be released? Locate out everything we know so far about book number eight…
The author, whose pen name for the novel series is Robert Galbraith, recently released the series’ widely praised seventh novel, The Running Grave, in September 2023. Despite this very recent publication, she has confirmed that she was working on book eight in early 2023. Following the last novel’s publication, a fan asked about progress on the new one, to which she replied on Twitter/X: “I've been working on it this afternoon!” In May 2023, she also answered a fan who enjoyed the books, writing: "That's a very lovely thing read after six hours solid work on Strike 8!"
Joanne also confirmed that things were “getting on very well” after revealing a script read for the BBC adaptation of the series in January 2024.

Rowling’s Hallmarked Man and the Release Date
Way back in March 15th J. K. Rowling released the title of Strike 8 as The Hallmarked Man, an event that usually occurs shortly after the manuscript of the book is announced as finished. We first heard of her working hard on the book the previous May 7th, before The Running Grave was released. Most people who were tracking progress were fairly confident of an Autumn 2024 release. Those hopes have been dashed, and it now looks more and more likely we will have to wait for Autumn 2025. See below for Rowling’s tweets keeping the fandom updated on progress. One reason for the delay might be the revelation that she has six books in various stages of development, with the next non-Strike book likely to be a futuristic story that she has been planning for more than a decade!
Do you have more books in the pipeline?
I’ve got six books in my head. I’ve got the one I’m currently writing. There’ll be two more Strikes, and then there are three more books that I really want to get to. [She taps her head] I always gesture to the back of my head. I’m sure an MRI scan would prove it’s got nothing to do with the back of my br
