Philip Pullman’s beloved His Dark Materials books finally respectfully came to life thanks to an HBO series of the same name.
While the first book in the trilogy was made into a movie, The Glass Compass, in 2007, it failed to impress fans of the books or critics and ended with just one movie.
However, the HBO series has received positive reviews and was readily accepted by fans of Pullman’s books.

Turns out HBO is actually perfectly capable of letting its relationship with a series adaptation come to its natural conclusion, so
get off her back. HBO and BBC have announced an official renewal of
His Dark Materials based on Philip Pullman’s bestselling fantasy novels for a third and final season. Each of the first two seasons have largely covered the respective novels in Pullman’s series, while the third will cover the last installment,
The Amber Spyglass. The season two finale of
His Dark Materials aired this week in the U.K. and is set to hit HBO and HBO Max next week.
