Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Pullman's trilogy was banned by the Catholic Church in 2007 for being 'atheism for kids' — the show leans into this harder than the 2007 film dared.
The daemon puppets were practical on set; actors performed with empty space or tennis balls, making Dafne Keen's chemistry with Pan genuinely impressive.
