This series got a tremendous response from the fans as well as the critics. They praised the show by saying, “It is a fine piece of drama, carrying the novelty and childish wonder of the books, but also their rigor and risk. This is intelligent populism writ large.” In this article, the viewers will read everything we know so far about the second installment of this show.
His Dark Materials is the fantasy drama TV series. It is the remake of the novel series of the same name by Philip Pullman. It is produced by Bad Wolf and New Line Productions for BBC One and HBO.

She discovers a series of kidnappings and its link to a mysterious substance called Dust. The show is set in a multi-world reality, with the progress moving from one world to another.
His Dark Materials Season 2: Plot Details
Since the debut season follows the first book of Pullman’s trilogy, therefore it is safe to say that the second season will adapt the second book, The Subtle Knife.

And both of them will begin the search for Lyra’s dad.

In a recent interview, Amir Wilson described the second season in only three words, “adventurous, knife, and bravery.” He added, “The viewers should look forward to knives and armory and battle fights. The second season of the series will be going to get much darker and better. No idea how the two get along!”
