Welcome our dæmons and our armoured bear to the HDM family. Recap of the new cast updates:

*Helen McCrory (though this was released at SDCC) will voice Stelmaria

*David Suchet will voice Kaisa (note: it says in the BBC Press Release that Kaisa is a gyrfalcon, not a snow goose - they're changing that!)

*Cristela Alonzo will voice Hester

*Kit Connor will voice Pan (originally, this was given to Archie Barnes - I wonder what happened there!)

*Brian Fisher will voice the golden monkey (though he will not speak, just make noises - and he did the puppetry)

And finally, the one we've been waiting months for:

*Joe Tandberg will be voicing Iorek Byrnison
