Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials continues on television with a season 2 adaptation of The Subtle Knife. Dafne Keen plays Lyra Belacqua, with Amir Wilson as Will Parry.
His Dark Materials season one might not have made a big splash in the US, but it was huge for the BBC, and that hugeness is all over footage of the show’s second season, featuring air balloon chases, sci-fi sets, and even a creepy dust monster. The second season — launched into pre-production before the first aired in November 2019 — will tackle the second book in Phillip Pullman’s bestselling trilogy, The Subtle Knife.
