His Dark Materials has been renewed for a third and
final season, TVLine has learned.
The fantasy series’ second season concludes Monday, Dec. 28, at 9/8c. Season 1 dealt primarily with the events of Pullman’s
The Golden Compass and centered on the adventures of Lyra, a little girl living in a universe similar to our own. Season 2 has chronicled the events of
The Subtle Knife, Book 2 in Pullman’s three-novel set, which follows what happens as Lyra and a boy named Will are pursued by both friends and foes between parallel universes.
Good news, fans of dæmons, dust, and different dimensions – the BBC and HBO’s adaptation of Phillip Pullman’s
His Dark Materials trilogy has been officially confirmed for its third (and likely final) season. Where Series 1 adapted
Northern Lights and Series 2 focused on
The Subtle Knife, executive producers Jane Tranter and Dan McCulloch and lead screenwriter Jack Thorne will be heading into
The Amber Spyglass territory for Series 3. It s a wildly ambitious and gargantuan-of-scale final chapter in Lyra and Will’s story.

Today’s renewal news also comes with bittersweet word that the show’s forthcoming third season will also be its last, according to Deadline.
While we’re sure fans will be sad to say goodbye to the adaptation, wrapping the series after a third season makes sense given the trajectory of the adaptation. There are three books in author Philip Pullman’s trilogy.
Currently, the series is tackling the events of
The Subtle Knife with its second season. The series’ third and final season will center on the third book in Pullman’s beloved saga,

The Amber Spyglass, the most daring, bizarre, and sacrilegious of the books in Philip Pullman’s trilogy.

His Dark Materials has been a truly global TV experience and a personal career highlight,” said
His Dakr Materials executive producer Jane Tranter. “The creative team at Bad Wolf in Cardiff made the impossible possible and brought Philip Pullman’s worlds into vivid life.
