With the U.K. premiere of His Dark Materials fast approaching (sorry to the U.S. viewers who will be watching a week later), the British Film Institute is giving fans a chance to learn more about the making of the show. In a series of panels, viewers can hear from the cast and creative team behind bringing the show to life. The panels will screen on BFI’s YouTube channel as part of their Television Festival.
