David Langham is portraying the character of Father Garret in the British Fantasy Adventure Series His Dark Materials. He appears in 4 episodes, including the series premiere titled Roger.
The show is an adaptation from the popular fantasy novels from Philip Pullman.
Set in an alternate universe, the series brings the manifestation of human souls on screen in the form of living creatures called Daemons. Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen) squares off against the Church, an influential set of people seeking to understand the nature of the universe. Things soon escalate in an instant.

The show carries a certain resemblance to HBO's Game of Thrones (which was epic until the horrendous final season). Therefore, comparisons are inevitable. However, unlike the show based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, His Dark Materials isn't produced by HBO alone. In fact, it's a co-production between BBC and HBO with the latter taking care of international distribution.
Notably, there's a substantial Thrones-size hole in the cable network, and they're certainly betting on Pullman's series to fill the void. While His Dark Materials is definitely a more family-friendly drama than Game of Thrones, its epic story could help draw the fans of the Iron Throne series.
The series premieres on 4th November on HBO in the US and a day earlier on BBC One in the UK.
