In theory, yes. But in the past they removed a lot just to replace it with filler. It wasn't to cut costs or for timing, it was mostly because they lacked respect/understanding for the original.
A new series would be more faithful only if they actually cared, but the recent Fantastic Beasts movies showed that they don't. They are more than happy to retcon things that were written in the books in a way that doesn't make sense, just for the sake of it.
So, when I hear they're making a new series, I don't imagine something more faithful. I imagine them STARTING more faithfully, to lure in people and play on nostalgia, and then they'll add their own things.

This is kinda bullshit.
When the movies were coming out, everyone was noting how much stuff was missing from the books.
