HBO Debuts 'His Dark Materials' Epic Trailer at Comic-Con!

The trailer for HBO’s new epic fantasy series His Dark Materials has arrived!

Dafne Keen, James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, and Lin-Manuel Miranda star in the new series, based on the best-selling books of the same name by Philip Pullman.

The first season follows Lyra (Keen), a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children, and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.

The cast was at Comic-Con on Thursday (July 18) to debut the trailer. The show premieres on both HBO and BBC this fall.
