The Great War Is Coming in the Teaser Trailer for Season 2 of His Dark Materials: Watch

HBO has shared the official teaser trailer for Season 2 of His Dark Materials. The adaptation of Philip Pullman’s beloved book series will return sometime this November. As the teaser indicates, Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off: after Lord Asriel has opened a bridge to a new world.

Other familiar faces from Season 1 include Amir...

For those of us who haven’t read the Colfer books, Artemis Fowl fails to tell its most...
