Miranda is shown fighting as Lee Scoresby, a mysterious character who helps Lyra escape. During the Comic-Con panel, Miranda added that his character’s first scene is a duet as he flies in on a balloon. Alas, no music from the Hamilton creator is in the trailer.

Clarke Peters (The Wire), James Cosmo (Game of Thrones), and Ruta Gedmintas (The Strain) also star in the series, adapated by Tony and Olivier winner Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).
