HBO shows off more 'His Dark Materials' in exquisite trailer
Watch Next

HBO is offering another glimpse at the sure to be exquisite His Dark Materials.

In the project's first official trailer, stars Dafne Keene, James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and their four-legged co-stars — known as "daemons" in the series— stunningly embody the roles set out for them by Phillip Pullman's trilogy.

The preview comes after another trailer debuted at San Diego Comic-Con. By all accounts, the adaptation seems to be a perfect imagining of the beloved literary work. If you're not familiar, buckle up. This is one story you don't want to miss.

His Dark Materials will premiere on HBO Nov. 4 at 9 p.m. ET.
