His Dark Materials now includes a hot priest.
After wooing Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Fleabag, Andrew Scott will be taking on a different kind of spiritual leader in the new television series.
The joint HBO and BBC production will adapt one book of Philip Pullman’s trilogy per season and has already cast James McAvoy, Anne-Marie Duff, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Scott will now be joining as John Parry aka Jopari, who also goes by Dr. Sanislaus Grumman. Jopari is the father of Will Parry, played by Amir Wilson, who accidentally traveled to Lyra’s Dafne Keen world and became a shaman.
The Sherlock actor’s addition was revealed by his co-star, Miranda, who posted a photograph of the pair on social media.
Scott will join the series in the show’s second season, with the first season expected to premiere later this year.
