Now, there\u2019s just a few months before the fantasy drama concludes this autumn \u2013 and series star Amir Wilson has dropped some new hints about what to expect, suggesting that the scale of the show will get even bigger while his character Will Parry is put through the emotional wringer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe left [Will] at his lowest point,\u201d Wilson told RadioTimes.com<\/a> at the Radio Times Covers Party<\/strong>, where he was presented with a His Dark Materials cover alongside executive producer Jane Tranter.<\/p>\n \u201cHe just lost Lyra. I guess without spoiling anything Will\u2019s journey this season [is] to find Lyra and to complete the journey that his dad wanted him to go on.\u201d<\/p>\n Intriguingly, it also sounds like that \u201cjourney\u201d will include a greater scale for His Dark Materials season 3, despite pandemic protocols during the shoot.<\/p>\n When RadioTimes.com<\/strong> exclusively caught up with Wilson on the His Dark Materials set last summer, he shed a little more light on what this expansion might look like, noting that there was a large increase in sets and locations written into the upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n \u201cWe go on a bigger journey than we have been before,\u201d he told us. \u201cMost of season 2 [was] based just in Citt\u00e0gazze.<\/p>\n \u201cThis season, on a whole, I mean, not even story-wise, but in terms of elements when we\u2019re filming \u2013 it\u2019s such a different environment. We\u2019re on location more, and we get to experience different types of sets and different locations.\u201d<\/p>\n And of course, the list of locations isn\u2019t the only thing that\u2019s grown. With a long break in filming between seasons 2 and 3, both Wilson and co-star Dafne Keen have grown up a lot in the interim, which changed the young actors\u2019 experience filming the series as well as the themes it was able to explore.<\/p>\n \u201cI think also since season 2, Will and Lyra have grown,\u201d Wilson told us, noting that Keen was only 11 for her first audition before season 1 (she turned 17 in January 2022). \u201cObviously me and Dafne have grown.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd those elements \u2013 now we\u2019re older; now we\u2019re 16-plus, we\u2019re on adult hours. So they can work us as much as they like.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s great,\u201d he added. \u201c[Season 3] has more for people to see. There\u2019s more elements to watch, and for the audience to see. There\u2019s a lot to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n Altogether, it sounds like His Dark Materials season 3 will be worth the slightly longer wait. Even if for some fans, that might make holding on to see what happens all the more challenging\u2026<\/p> See more photos from the Radio Times Covers Party 2022 in the new issue of Radio Times magazine<\/a>, on sale now.\u00a0Subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door, and for more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the\u00a0Radio Times podcast<\/a>\u00a0with Jane Garvey.<\/strong><\/p>\n His Dark Materials season 3 comes to BBC One and HBO Max this autumn, and you can catch up on seasons 1 and 2 on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
