BBC One announced its intentions to produce, with New Line and Bad Wolf, a television series based on Philip Pullman's classic YA novel series, His Dark Materials.
Back in 2006, New Line attempted to create their own YA movie franchise by releasing a lukewarm - and rushed - adaptation of the first book, The Golden Compass. Despite the grandiose cast, the series never took off.
Hopefully, the long-form narrative of a television series will allow for the proper development of the world and its characters which will extend through the entire fantasy adventure trilogy.
