Watch: The new trailer for Season 2 of His Dark Materials

Based on the books by Philip Pullman, this gorgeous HBO series takes place in a rich fantasy world where an orphan uncovers a dangerous secret. Season 2 is coming to Showmax later in 2020.

HBO’s His Dark Materials, starring Dafne Keen as orphan Lyra, James McAvoy as the explorer Asriel, Ruth Wilson as villainous Mrs Coulter and Lin-Manuel Miranda as an adventurer called Lee Scoresby, is an adaptation of Philip Pullman’s award-winning trilogy that 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.

Season 2 is slated to land later in 2020, and it will be coming directly to Showmax subscribers’ screens towards the end of the year.
