Warning: LOTS OF BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD for Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy.
His Dark Materials fans got some very good news from HBO with the announcement of a Season 3 renewal, which means that the ambitious series will be able to adapt all three books of Philip Pullman’s novel trilogy.
Season 1 covered the events of Pullman’s The Golden Compass and Season 2 tackled The Subtle Knife, and only The Amber Spyglass has yet to make it from page to screen.
The tricky part of the renewal is simply that The Amber Spyglass that finishes the trilogy is more than a hundred pages longer than the first two books, and Season 3 will run for just eight episodes.
