His Dark Materials season 3 has now finished airing in both the US and the UK, after weekly runs on HBO and BBC One. If you need to catch up (or rewatch), however, that's no problem – the full season is now available to stream on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer. 

The final season of the fantasy series adapts Philip Pullman's novel The Amber Spyglass, with Dafne Keen and Amir Wilson returning as Lyra and Will along with fellow cast members Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, and Simone Kirby also back for round three. With Lyra and Will's fates more tightly intertwined than ever and a prophecy looming heavy over their heads, the stakes have never been higher. Make sure you don't miss a single episode of His Dark Materials season 3 with our handy guide to watching all eight episodes.
