His Dark Materials season 1 finale livestream: Watch online

His Dark Materials’s season one finale airs on HBO tonight. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the thrilling adventures of Lyra Belacqua online.

Last week’s episode of His Dark Materials saw the long-awaited epic battle battle between armored bears Iorek Byrnison and Iofur Raknison, an event which allowed Iorek to reclaim his title as King of the Bears and Lyra to find her father.

However, Asriel’s greeting was a bit…odd. While he at first seemed unhappy to see Lyra, he then seemed overly excited once he discovered Roger was there, and it was all a bit eerie.

Will Parry’s story also continued as Boreal’s men broke into his home, forcing him to leave his mother with a neighbor and carry on his father’s mission alone. Tonight’s season finale, closing out the first book in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series, The Golden Compass, has a lot of work to do.

HBO’s official synopsis for “Betrayal” reads:

"As the Magisterium closes in, Lyra learns more about Asriel’s rebellion, but her assistance to him comes at great personal cost."

Watch the preview for “Betrayal” below:

“In war, there are casualties,” Asriel cries, while looking into a cage. As the preview goes on, it’s revealed that poor Roger is in the cage, and has escaped Bolvanger only to be threatened again.

While the Magesterium is galvanizing their army, Iorek is bringing the force of all the armored bears with him and it looks to be a brutal fight as Asriel’s mission is at last revealed. What remains to be seen is how far Lyra will go to help her father.
