James McAvoy will co-star in the BBC television series, based on the hit trilogy "Dark Principles" by writer Philip Pullman. According to the Deadline edition, he will play the polar explorer Lord Azriel.

Recall that in the literary source, which takes place in a fictional reality, where science and magic coexist, he is the guardian of the main character Lyra Belaqua. The role of the latter went to the star of the movie "Logan" Daphne Keane. Tom Hooper has been appointed as director.

The Dark Principles trilogy includes the novels Aurora Borealis, Miracle Knife and The Amber Telescope. In 2007, a full-length movie adaptation entitled "The Golden Compass" was released. Despite the participation of such stars as Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Dakota Blue Richards, Freddie Highmore, Eva Green, Jim Carter, Ian McShane, Katie Bates, Christine Scott Thomas and others and an impressive production budget ($ 180 million), the movie flopped to at the box office, grossing only $ 370 million. Therefore, New Line Cinema abandoned further plans to movie Pullman's works.
