There’s no need to worry that the His Dark Materials TV show will be cancelled soon. A co-production of HBO and BBC, the series has already been renewed for a second season of eight episodes. Will that be the end? Will His Dark Materials continue beyond that? Stay tuned.

What do you think? Do you like the His Dark Materials TV series on HBO? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a second season?
I watched episode 1 and 2 and fell a sleep in both. Watching the trailer I though this was going to be good. Its boring as heck and the characters are like wooden potatoes.
Awful disappointing boring version of a masterpiece novel and movie….this t.v show should not be renewed.
Some episodes of Teen Mom have bigger audience then this unwatchable, cringey show.
Love the series. We rate it as excellent but positive comments from friends do not show it. It’s a Winner in America.
Love this series and we love Ruth Wilson
Ruth Wilson is excellent. We would watch her in anything. She creates a winner for a series

Renewed before the duffision.

Over here audience rejected this.

They shot the first and second series back-to-back so that Dafne Keen could stay young enough to play the role.

I’m not against changes at all , for example I loved that added scene… Read more »
