His Dark Materials season three is launching this December and the Philip Pullman adaptation hasn't been on TV for two years. Made in Wales, the show is made by Bad Wolf for HBO and the BBC.
The series follows the life of young Lyra (Dafne Keen), an orphan living with the tutors at Jordan College, Oxford. As in Pullman’s novel, Lyra discovers a dangerous secret that involves Lord Asriel (James McAvoy) and Marisa Coulter (Ruth Wilson). The third series will see the story from The Amber Spyglass conclude the show, seeing Lord Asriel’s war against religious tyranny (and the leading figure The Authority at the head of it) escalate, pulling in creatures and forces from different worlds and even calling some angels to his side and Lyra back in the clutches of Mrs Coulter.
The third season starts on Sunday, December 18 and will follow the action from Pullman's third book, The Amber Spylass.
