It\u2019s certainly bigger, it\u2019s certainly a little darker, but it\u2019s also more romantic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe third season of His Dark Materials is when all the questions of season 1 and season 2 finally are answered. But it\u2019s when we also start exploring the theme of love, romantic love, and love between mother and child, father and son. And I would say it\u2019s more thrills and spills than season 1 and 2 have been.\u201d<\/p> <p>A date has not yet been confirmed for the fantasy series\u2019 return, but here\u2019s hoping we don\u2019t have long to wait to see how it all plays out.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we were given our <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/his-dark-materials-season-3-images-newsupdate\/&quot;\">first glimpses<\/a> at the new season in an HBO trailer late last year, including the full return of James McAvoy\u2019s Lord Asriel.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Huw Fullerton.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>His Dark Materials season 3 is coming soon to BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
