Lyra and Will’s journey through the multiverse is about to end. HBO and BBC have announced this Are dark materials has been renewed for season three, adapting the third and final book in author Philip Pullman’s trilogy.
HBO announced this in a press release by e-mail Are dark materials, which is nearing the end of season two, will come back with a “final chapter” to complete the trilogy. The series is based on Pullman’s Are dark materials novels, ending with The Amber Spyglass, largely considered the densest and most complicated novel in the series. It is unclear what the creators of the series are like be able to sum it up to one season of eight episodes, but showrunner Jack Thorne shared how excited he wass that they get that chance.
“The Amber Spyglass is a beautiful and terrifying book full of awe and wonder. To finish this trilogy and tell the full story of it Are dark materials is the greatest honor and I know we’re all itching to get started, ”Thorne continued Twitter.
Are dark materials stars Dafne Keen and Amir Wilson as Lyra and Will, two young adults from different worlds who find themselves at the center of a war over life itself. Season two brought our two heroes together in the town of Cittagazze, with Lyra’s mother, Mrs. Coulter (Ruth Wilson) in the chase. The season ended up being one episode shorter than expected, as a Lord Asriel-centered storyline had to be cut short due to the new coronavirus pandemic. But rest assured, Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) will play a key role in the upcoming events. Fair warning: it will be soon weird.
G / O Media can receive a commission
Production of the final eight-episode season will start next year. Are dark materials has already completed season two in Britain, with the final episode airing in the United States on Monday.
