Dafne Keen as Lyra in His Dark Materials Season 3.
Daemons and talking polar bears and a repressive religious regime, oh my! When it comes to vastly underrated fantasy sagas, it doesn't get much better than HBO's His Dark Materials. Produced in collaboration with BBC One, the much-anticipated TV series based on Phillip Pullman's trilogy of novels is set in a multiverse that includes our own world.
Lyra's Story Doesn't End With 'His Dark Materials' His Dark Materials' November 2019 premiere was an attempt to capitalize on the sudden fantasy TV series-shaped hole left by the end of Game of Thrones and its controversial final season. But, despite positive reviews, the series struggled to stand out amidst a new host of adaptations also hoping to become the next big fantasy series — think House of the Dragon, The Witcher, and The Wheel of Time.
The novellas also provide backstories for fan-favorite characters like Lee Scoresby in Once Upon a Time in the North, and Mrs. Coulter in The Collectors. The first two books of Pullman's second trilogy, The Book of Dust and The Secret Commonwealth, shed more light on both the mysteries of the Magisterium and Dust and elaborate on Lyra’s story before and beyond His Dark Materials, which could amend the series’ issue with incomplete-feeling character arcs.
