Ever since its announcement, the His Dark Materials HBO miniseries has been the talk of the town. Some even dare to suggest that it may be even the next Game of Thrones.

At its first San Diego Comic Con appearance, the His Dark Materials cast and crew sat down to tease its fans with what we might expect from this new and much anticipated reinterpretation of the popular young adult book series.

The panel consisted of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jane Tranter, Jack Thorne, Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy. So check out the full panel above (courtesy of Variety magazine) and hear from the cast just how this HBO series will differ from both the books and the earlier films.

The first episode of the miniseries is expected to drop sometime in Fall 2019.
