While there was no series of His Dark Materials<\/a> this autumn, fans of the series need not fret, as the third and final series has already been filmed ahead of a debut in late 2022.<\/p>\n

And now we\u2019ve been given our first look at what we can expect from the next instalment of the Philip Pullman adaptation, including the full return of James McAvoy\u2019s Lord Asriel after his absence (barring one small cameo) in season two.<\/p>\n

You can see small flashes of Asriel in a new trailer from HBO Max, and we can have a better look here \u2013 it seems like this might be Asriel, sporting a new hairdo, hard at work in the Republic of Heaven war camp he\u2019s created to wage war on The Authority (basically, he\u2019s taking on God).<\/p>\n

The BBC and HBO have also released first looks of Lyra (Dafne Keen) and her mother Mrs Coulter (Ruth Wilson) looking perturbed, though the tease of Subtle Knife-bearer Will (Amir Keen) is slightly more worrying. What\u2019s left him looking so battered, punchdrunk and sweaty?<\/p>\n

Admittedly, we\u2019re only seeing small glimpses of the new series here, but with around 9-10 months to go before we actually see the conclusion of Pullman\u2019s epic tale onscreen, we\u2019re sure this is just the beginning. It\u2019ll certainly do for starters.<\/p>\n
