Mom and Dad are still fighting in the first teaser for His Dark Materials season three
The BBC and HBO series will close out its adaptation of the Philip Pullman novels later this year
HBO has announced that the third and final season of His Dark Materials will begin airing in December, right on time for when you’d want to watch something that involves a giant polar bear running around. Co-produced by the BBC, the show has been praised for its thoughtful adaptation of Philip Pullman’s beloved trilogy of fantasy novels—a proposed film series starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig failed to take off after its first and only installment was released in 2007.
His Dark Materials stars Dafne Keen as Lyra Belacqua, a young girl who finds out that her parents (James McAvoy and Ruth Wilson) are on opposing sides of a multi-dimensional battle. In the first teaser for season three, which adapts the book The Amber Spyglass, the series’ rich world is on full display, hinting at plenty of action for angels, daemons, witches, and, of course, the armored bear Iorek Byrnison.
