His Dark Materials [Begins November 3rd, BBC One]
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. |
Is it a co-production with a US studio? Lin-Manuel Miranda is quite a big signing for a BBC show.

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. |

I can't wait to see who's playing Mrs Coulter tbh. Quote:

Bad Wolf? Please don't tell me Russell T Davies is involved with this? :suspect:

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. |
New press release with more casting announcements

I really hope series 1 ends with the ending of Northern Lights. People who haven't read it will be shook. |

I don't recall the Master of Jordan College being that prominent in Northern Lights beyond Spoiler: |

I guess it also depends on how the story is paced - if Lyra is still in Jordan/Oxford for two or three episodes, he might just be "around" ? |
Don't like the actress who was the villain in Luther so I'm apprehensive.

I wonder why they haven't revealed Iorek's voice actor yet :think:
We still need to see a glimpse of the witches too. I like that they're holding back on a few things though |
