Previewing His Dark Materials Season Two Finale

On A Mission

His Dark Materials Season Two Episode Seven, the season finale, is on HBO this Monday, 28 December, and here’s a trailer for it from HBO themselves…

As all paths converge on Cittàgazze, the mission to find Will’s father becomes more pressing. Having survived the balloon crash, Jopari and Lee try to locate the knife bearer, but the Magisterium are in close pursuit. Ruta updates Serafina on Asriel’s plans, but Serafina insists her duty is to Lyra. Mary consults the I Ching on her task after bidding goodbye to Angelica and Paola.

His Dark Materials stars Dafne Keen, James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Adapting Philip Pullman’s award-winning trilogy of the same name, which is considered a modern masterpiece of imaginative fiction, the first season follows Lyra, a seemingly ordinary but brave young woman from another world. Her search for a kidnapped friend uncovers a sinister plot involving stolen children, and becomes a quest to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. As she journeys through the worlds, including our own, Lyra meets Will, a determined and courageous boy. Together, they encounter extraordinary beings and dangerous secrets, with the fate of both the living — and the dead — in their hands.
