His Dark Materials, the TV adaptation of Philip Pullman's beloved series of books, has finally got a release date. Airing o🎉n November 3 on the BBC in the UK and a day later on HBO, the news also comes with a trailer detailing Lyra's journey, which you can watch b✃elow.

As first reported by , the series (which will be told across two seasons at the very least), won't be getting a simulcast premiere. HBO, who is co-funding the production, will be airing the first episode a day after it launches on BBC One. That means subscribers to the premium cable service will be getting a one-two combo of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Watchmen HBO series and His Dark Mater🅷ials back-to-back until the New Year, with Watchmen taking up the coveted Sunday slot from꧟ October 20.

The trailer, meanwhile♉, promises a trek of epic proportions for Lyra (Dafne Keen), as well as offering us a whistlestop tour of Pullman's mystical, wide-eyed world and the shadowy forces tracking the young girl.

Chief among them is Ruth Wilson's Mrs Coulter, who scowls her way through the minute-long teaser. There are also quick appearances from Dr. Carne (Clarke Peters) and Lin-Manuel Miranda as the affa🔜ble Lee Scoresby.

Fans in the UK will also be pleased to know that, alongside the His Dark Materials release d🔯ate on November 3, they'll also get what seems🍌 to be instant access to the premiere on the BBC iPlayer on that day.
