The latest trailer for HBO’s His Dark Materials series (based on the eponymous Philip Pullman trilogy) is longer than the last offering, and gives us a better sense of the whole tone of the show. We also get to see the alethiometer much more closely, and get a gorgeous glimpse of Iorek.

Hold onto your daemons, everyone:

It’s great (and terrifying) to see more of Ruth Wilson’s Mrs Coulter, who finally gives us something to be frightened of with such an alarming ease. We also see more of Dafne Keen as Lyra, and can get a better sense of the scope of the world that’s being built for the show. This supporting cast is phenomenal, and we’re only getting closer to the premiere date, which is set for this fall.

No word on who is voicing Iorek Byrinson yet, though…
