In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Newt illegally reaches Paris with Jacob in order to track and save Credence Barebone, the obscurial responsible for the New York attack. He faces another challenge as Tina, whom he has begun to love, shuns him upon thinking that he is engaged. Nonetheless, Newt clears the misunderstanding and reconciles with Tina. After a destructive rally of Grindelwald's followers during which Credence and Queenie join dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, Newt chooses to join the fight against Grindelwald.
Newt reappears in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Along with his former professor Albus Dumbledore, Newt and his team thwart Grindelwald's plans for world domination and stop him from becoming the Minister for Magic. When Queenie realises her mistake and returns to the good side, she and Jacob marry. Newt attends the wedding as Jacob's best man, while Tina attends as well, as her sister's maid of honour.
At some point after the end of the global wizarding war, Newt and Tina marry and have a grandson named Rolf who marries Luna Lovegood. Newt is the author of the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is used as a textbook by Harry Potter and his classmates.

In Crimes of Grindelwald, Tina attempts to find and help Credence along with Newt and fights against Grindelwald’s forces in the Paris incident.

In Secrets of Dumbledore, it's revealed Tina is now head of the American Auror office in New York, so she has no part in the events of this film. Tina briefly reunites with Newt at Queenie and Jacob's wedding. The warmth of this reunion hints at the eventual romantic relationship between the two.

Queenie, wounded by his refusal, leaves him to join Grindelwald, who promises her the hope of marrying Jacob.
In Secrets of Dumbledore, Lally Hicks recruits Jacob to join the cause against Grindelwald and presents him with a wand.

Wounded by Jacob's refusal to marry her (even though he feels it is to protect her), Queenie joins Grindelwald in The Crimes of Grindelwald, as he promises her a new world order.
