It's been a while since this was announced but we're finally getting some more information so I figured it's worth having a thread to add more as it comes.
Jack Thorne will helm the series and he seems pretty intent on adapting it faithfully so hopefully this won't run into the same problems as the Golden Compass movie with certain themes being watered down Dafne Keen has been cast to play the lead role of Lyra and Lin-Manuel Miranda is apparently to play Lee Scoresby, and Tom Hooper will be directing. Also, the first series will have 8 episodes adapting Northern Lights (looks like some people thought it was 8 episodes for the entire trilogy which thankfully is untrue) I loved Northern Lights (and I'm a few chapters into The Subtle Knife atm and it's off to a good start) so if this is done well it could be a great show. It's good that HDM is getting another chance for a screen adaptation after the way the movie flopped. Last edited by Lostie!; 14-09-2019 at 11:34 AM. |

I've not heard of either of those performers, but a quick google of each seems promising!
I love the books, so I hope this is a good adaption! I didn't even mind the movie adaption tbh.

He's not actually part of Bad Wolf is he? It was founded by Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner.

Clarke Peters, Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy cast as the Jordan College Master, Mrs Coulter and Lord Asriel!
Interesting choice for Asriel, not how I picture him but a great name to have attached to the cast and I've always liked him so I'm intrigued so see his portrayal. I've been waiting for Mrs Coulter's casting since she's such a brilliant character. Not too familiar with Ruth Wilson but I can definitely see her as Coulter and by all accounts she's a great actress. And I loved Clarke Peters in Person of Interest so very happy with his casting.
