His Dark Materials ends December

Before Bad Wolf begins co-producing Doctor Who in 2023, the final season of His Dark Materials will be shown this December during the holidays.



Read the official synopsis:

"Based on “The Amber Spyglass,” the final novel in Philip Pullman’s award-winning trilogy, in the final chapter of this epic fantasy series, Lyra (Dafne Keen), the prophesied child, and Will (Amir Wilson), the bearer of The Subtle Knife, must journey to a dark place from which no one has ever returned. As her father’s great war against the Authority edges closer, they will learn that saving the worlds comes at a terrible price."

It's almost 2 years since the second season of His Dark Materials was transmitted on BBC and HBO Max. So, I've begun a rewatch in 4K UHD on BBC iPlayer, and this live-action adaptation of Sir Philip Pullman’s fantasy trilogy looks spellbinding.

The main cast of His Dark Materials season 3 includes Dafne Keen as Lyra (Logan), Ruth Wilson (The Affair, Luther) as Marisa Coulter, Will Keen (The Crown) as Father Hugh MacPhail, Ruta Gedmintas (Do No Harm) as Serafina Pekkala, Amir Wilson (2020’s The Secret Garden, The Letter for the King) as Will Parry, and James McAvoy (It Chapter Two, Dark Pheonix), as Lord Asriel. However, it is unknown if he will be a leading cast member this season.

Previous cast members of His Dark Materials have included Lin-Manuel Miranda, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Andrew Scott, Bella Ramsey, and Morfydd Clark.
