HBO and The BBC have renewed their epic fantasy series “His Dark Materials,” based on Phillip Pulman’s novels, for a third and final season.
The eight-episode last run will begin production in Cardiff in 2021 and adapts the final book in the trilogy “The Amber Spyglass”.
Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming, says: “Bringing Phillip Pullman’s epic, intricate and culturally resonant body of work to television has been a tremendous privilege. We thank our incredible partners at the BBC and the entire Bad Wolf team, led by the indefatigable Jane Tranter, for their exceptional work on the first two seasons. We look forward to completing the trilogy with this final chapter in Lyra’s journey.”
Word of the renewal comes only two days after the series wrapped in the UK and less than a week before it airs on HBO. All the key cast and crew from the previous seasons are returning.
