Philip Pullman’s fantasy novel series, His Dark Materials, is being brought to the small screen on the BBC with Dafne Keen, James McAvoy, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Ruth Wilson among the cast. Oscar winner Tom Hooper is set to direct the first two episodes while Jack Thorne, the Tony-winning scribe behind Harry Potter & the Cursed Child, has written the adaptation.

I never read these books or saw the movie, but wasn’t there a big backlash from religious groups when the Golden Compass came out in 2007?

I only remember the movie version because of the polar bear so this could be a welcome adaption since the movie was the worst
