As the BBC announces that they’ve given a second season order to the adaptation of His Dark Materials, HBO has confirmed that they have come on board for worldwide showing outside the UK.

They will join the BBC, Bad Wolf and New Line on the project, which is currently filming its first eight-part season. Directors for the first season are also now confirmed: Tom Hooper will direct the opening two, followed by Dawn Shadforth for episode 3, Otto Bathhurst for episodes 4 and 5, Euros Lyn for episode 6 and Jamie Childs for the final two.

Logan’s Dafne Keen stars as Lyra with James McAvoy as Lord Asriel, Lewin Lloyd as Roger, Ruth Wilson as Mrs Coulter and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby.
