The cast and crew of His Dark Materials uncover the magic behind this epic adaptation, featuring Daphne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy and Lin-Manuel Miranda. To adapt the books for television, there was no doubt that this much loved story would be an ambitious undertaking. Watch how the production tackled the challenge of envisioning the costumes, building the worlds, bringing the daemons to life and writing the screenplay.

This documentary will explore the DNA of Lee Scoresby's character (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and the aspects of the cowboy, outlaw or rogue, who through bravery, loyalty, and rebelliousness are willing to stick up for the underdog and fight for justice.
