Will Keen, who embodies the president of Russia in Peter Morgan’s latest play, “Patriots,” avoids these pitfalls.

Katie Reul editor The action-packed final season of “His Dark Materials” will debut its first two episodes in a back-to-back broadcast on HBO Dec. 5, according to a teaser that premiered at New York Comic-Con. Season 3 will also be available for streaming on HBO Max. James McAvoy is making a significant resurgence in the series as Lord Asriel, who was absent from the screen for the majority of Season 2. The upcoming season largely focuses on Asriel rallying military forces to launch a holy crusade against the “Authority” — an antagonistic spiritual force that dictates his universe. “I’m gathering the greatest from every world to help me wage war,” Asriel reveals in the trailer.

Based on Philip Pullman‘s novel trilogy of the same name, “His Dark Materials” is one of TV’s best current fantasy dramas. In the show, two teens, Lyra and Will, search for missing friends and relatives in a multi-world reality full of witches, daemons, and prophecies.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThere have, on occasion, been terrific dramas built around the relationship between a crusty adult and a spiky kid. “True Grit” (1969) was good, with the firebrand tomboy Kim Darby a perfect foil for the aging cowpoke John Wayne (and it was a more memorable movie than the Coen brothers’ remake).

His Dark Materials is officially coming back for a third and final season.

With its star-studded cast and popular source material, Season 1 of the YA novel adaptation “His Dark Materials” became a fixture of HBO’s lineup. The new trailer for “His Dark Materials” Season 2 is ready to expand upon the world Lyra thought she knew.
