Sam is the co-host, producer and editor of the Arrow Video podcast, which has seen year-on-year growth since its creation in 2017, gaining over half a million listens in that time. There is also the chance that a completely new story set in the world of His Dark Materials could work, although the fans are extremely loyal to the source material, and given the contents of said material, this would be a hard one to get right without Pullman's direct involvement.

There's The Collectors, which serves as an origin story for the deliciously evil Marisa Coulter, although it would be a shame to recast Ruth Wilson with a younger replacement given how excellent she is in the role. The Amber Spyglass is the most gloriously complex of Philip Pullman's novels to adapt for TV but with our world-class creative team in Cardiff no challenge is too daunting," Tranter told Radio Times. At one point, the final book's story was going to be split in two seasons rather than one, but unfortunately it wasn't possible to make it work.It’s definitely more emotional. I think it was definitely harder to film. There's a lot more going on, I think the introduction of a lot more characters as well. It’s a lot to look forward to." Asked to describe the season in three words, he said "love, loss and death." That… that doesn’t sound like much fun.

The upcoming season is based on the third and final book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials book series, The Amber Spyglass. I wanted to split it in two, but we're doing it in one. You can't always have what you want," executive producer Jane Tranter told Deadline. "I'm just greedy. I really like the real estate of television.

We'd also expect to learn more about the angels (or watchers), as well as being taken to new worlds, including the Land of the Dead, and a world where sentient, elephant-like creatures, the mulefa, roam. Speaking of cast members, His Dark Materials season three will be welcoming a new character to its ranks. For the third and final series the creators have decided to up the fantastical ante by introducing the show's more complex creatures, the mulefa (a zalif in its singular form). The zalif is a sentient being that will be trudging its way into the new series but apparently their transition from book to screen has not been a smooth ride.

But i's really nice to see the story wrap up and be privileged enough to tell it and to get three seasons out of it, which has been an honour." As is so often the case with season threes (hello Buffy, Angel, and, um, Friends), fans should expect a deeper and darker ride. "I think it’s a lot darker, a lot sadder," Wilson told Radio Times. It's bittersweet, I'd say," she said about the finale (via Radio Times). "It's sad because of the people you leave behind and all of the experiences we had and all the good times we had on set with all of the crew and stuff." And in season two, there was also a moment in the second episode involving a particular bench that was a nod to a big moment in the third book, which hints at how the series will wrap up. We haven't thought about it," McAvoy told The Times. "I don't think we want to talk about it, but when we do, somebody else will be honoured to step into her, well... if not footsteps, then her voicesteps."

To keep Dafne Keen in the running, the BBC and HBO could also adapt Pullman's novella titled Lyra’s Oxford, which follows Lyra two years after the events of His Dark Materials. That option certainly makes the most scene if the finale's last title card is anything to go by — although they better hurry up before Dafne grows too old for the part. The rebellion against the Authority becomes open warfare, with Asriel working to build a new Republic of Heaven. But to achieve his ends he needs the Subtle Knife, which is currently in Will's hands.

There are also plenty of shorter stories that a one-off special or even a film could draw on.
