New BBC 'His Dark Materials' Series Already Renewed for a Second Season
Production is still ongoing on Season 1 of the BBC’s all-star adaptation of author Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials saga, but the drama has already been confirmed for a second run.
Logan star Dafne Keen plays Lyra, a young orphan girl who lives in a parallel universe where science and magic are entwined and all humans have animal familiars known as daemons. She and her friend Will, who possesses a particular magical knife, ultimately find themselves caught up in a battle against celestial powers that spans many worlds.
Along the way, there are polar bear kings, philosophical debates, witches and something called Dust, which turns out to be kind of important later on.
