The BBC has announced that the final season of the fantasy drama His Dark Materials will premiere in December as a box set.
Lyra (Dafne Keen) will continue to avoid the Magisterium, an organization focused on governing a multi-world reality in which humans’ souls are represented by their daemon companions and her mother, Mrs. Coulter (Ruth Wilson), who kidnapped her in the season 2 finale.
The show tweeted, “UK fans…time It’s to discover new realms.” “All episodes of the third season of #HisDarkMaterials will be available on BBC iPlayer on December 18 and weekly on BBC One.”

When Will The Third Season Of His Dark Materials Be Released?
The Season 2 finale of “His Dark Materials” premiered on HBO Max in December 2020. Thus fans have waited a time to watch the climax of the dark fantasy television series. They will not have to wait long, thankfully. The series will conclude on December 26, 2022, with the premiere of Season 3 airing on HBO Max on December 5, 2022.
In keeping with the length of the previous two seasons, Season 3 will consist of only eight episodes (via Deadline).

As the final season tackles “The Amber Spyglass,” the strangest and largest installment in author Philip Pullman’s series of books, it will be intriguing to see how they weave together all those complex concepts and intertwined stories in fewer than ten episodes, especially considering that producer Jane Tranter originally intended to split the final book into two separate seasons.
