WHERE is Serafina Peckala?!?

Andrew Scott cast in series 2!

And Nina Sosanya is rumoured to be playing Will's mother.

I love all this series 2 hype before series 1 has even aired :laugh:

What's the pace they're telling the story at?

How many series are we looking at? :think:

1 series per book would work :D

Then they could do the Book of Dust - La Belle Savauge is my favourite of all four tbh :D

Another new trailer!



Every scene of new footage with Ruth as Mrs Coulter has me loving her more and more

You're just mocking me now! :nono:

Begins on November 3rd!!

Also the voice cast has been revealed

Helen McCrory as Stelmaria
David Suchet as Kaisa
Cristela Alonzo as Hester
Kit Connor as Pantalaimon
Brian Fisher as the Golden Monkey
Joe Tandberg as Iorek Byrnison

David Suchet being in something is always a good thing!

It's sounding better and better!

Brian Fisher as the Golden Monkey
For all five words in book 3?

:joker:

He's providing "animal noises and vocal characteristics" apparently :laugh: He also served as "lead puppeteer and CFX co-ordinator".

Also, look at Hester :flutter:

Full trailer!



Looks phenomenal. So hyped that it starts in just a month!

Really looking forward to this :D

Held the premiere last night, and all the reviews I've seen so far are raving about how good it was :flutter:

Can't wait :D

Also this poster is bloody glorious

Oh that's awesome <3

I'm currently ploughing through Secret Commonwealth, hopefully to finish in time for book club on Friday :D

How is it?

I still need to finish The Amber Spyglass and then FINALLY move onto La Belle Sauvage which I've had for nearly 2 years :joker:

And this one :lovedup:

Awesome, that's even better! Stelmaria and Hester <3

I noticed the non English text so found another but the one you quoted is definitely better quality :laugh:

I think the colours are off in the first one, Miranda and McAcoy look like they used the stand-ins or something :joker:

Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson and Clarke Peters promoted the show on The One Show and they showed a first look clip of Lyra meeting Mrs Coulter



Ruth is ****ing perfect as Coulter :flutter: She's my favourite character so I'm so glad they're seemingly doing her justice

Will watch for Ruth Wilson, love her

She has that Coulter charm down to a T <3

I really liked it <3

There are new fantasy elements, and old ones are expanded upon; though there are some parts that Tumblr might call "problematic", and there's a lot of bleakness, it's still intriguing and exciting.

New BBC trailer. I'm ready. :worship:

If that was Iofur at the end, he sounds just like the movie! I liked his movie actor.

That's who I thought it might be.

Didn't the movie patronisingly change his name to Ragnar because they thought his name was too similar to Iorek? :joker:

I think it did :joker: to be fair the animated version of Lord of the Rings changed Saruman to Aruman, so he wouldn't be confused with Sauron. But that makes more sense, as they are both talked about more than to, and when someone's being referred to with a similar name, I guess it could be easier to get confused. Whereas Iorek and Iofur are pretty much only namechecked once we've met them, so heyho

Oh my god

Also I saw a Lord Asriel teaser on TV earlier so I assume they're doing them for all the main characters which is cool!

Love KT <3 this show is shaping up to be amazing!

Apparently S1 and S2 shot either back to back,or near as dammit, so the difference between airtimes in the kids' age wouldn't be too noticeable. I don't know when they're doing S3 but the buzz is it'll be more than 8 episodes!

Yes Starts 8PM tonight BBC1HD.

Debated on Marr BBC1HD (Ruth Wilson)
and Sunday Brunch Ch4HD.

Both had Lead Actors in this new Drama/Thriller.

Yes she's really good and looking forward to watching this :cheer2:

It was good!

I really enjoyed the first episode, the teaser trailer looks good. Do we know if each series will cover one book?

Yes, it will!

Only watched a bit but the animals looked so bad, with the CGI these days I expected them to look great.

I really enjoyed this :love: fully perched for this to become my new obsession

I was so happy with the first episode! Also can we just appreciate that title sequence (which actually contains a lot of foreshadowing for even books 2 and 3) :worship:

And I thought the daemon CGI was brilliant. The production values all round are epic.

I genuinely got giddy when Mrs Coulter showed up. And Ruth is bloody perfect as her :clap1:
