HBO and BBC's second season of His Dark Materials already started the day off with the news that Terence Stamp (Billy Budd, The Adjustment Bureau), Jade Anouka (Cleaning Up), and Simone Kirby (Artemis Fowl) were joining the cast- but the news definitely didn't end there. To coincide with their Thursday panel at this year's Comic-Con@Home, viewers were treated to the official trailer for the series' return. Set for later this year, the second season of the HBO and BBC drama will use The Subtle Knife as its source material, the second novel in Philip Pullman's trilogy of novels that focus on the adventures of Lyra Belacqua (Dafne Keen).
