His Dark Materials’ Ruth Wilson would reprise role of Mrs Coulter on screen

As a devoted fan of His Dark Materials, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement when it comes to Ruth Wilson‘s iconic portrayal of Mrs. Coulter. Despite the series coming to an end, the prospect of seeing her character again in some form is like dangling a carrot just out of reach – tantalizingly close yet always beyond grasp.


It’s highly unlikely that we’ll witness actress Ruth Wilson reprising her role as Mrs. Coulter in live-action again, given the climactic conclusion of His Dark Materials

Indeed, it seems every character met a conclusion within the BBC’s adaptation of Philip Pullman’s beloved story, which unfolded over an engaging span of three seasons filled with thrilling events

Could it be that we might witness Wilson’s character who was once a villain but became a savior on television screens in some form or another in the future, following the trend of shows like The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, Marvel’s What If…?, and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off?

In the meantime, the actress who played Mrs. Coulter in a previous context has expressed interest in revisiting this memorable character if an appropriate chance arises for her to do so

“The world adores these books, and it’s evident that the cast, crew, writers, production teams, and actors who worked on that series were avid readers of them. You can see their fervor for Philip’s characters and universes was palpable.”

“I loved performing in that space.”

Fans may not be able to look forward to another small-screen adaptation just yet, but they can once again immerse themselves in the world of His Dark Materials through audio books. Starting now, Sir Ian McKellen has started narrating Northern Lights as an audiobook, and he plans to continue with the rest of Philip Pullman’s classic trilogy in early 2025

Wilson expressed delight at being invited once more into this multiverse, considering himself a big admirer of the author herself

“I’m really enjoying going back into that world, and kind of existing in his words.

In adapting a work, you’ll find fragments of the original author’s dialogues and phrasing. However, it’s the skillful work of a scriptwriter who adapted it that makes reading the original language and the way the characters were created and brought to life a truly unique and special experience

I’m consistently astounded by the richness of the material, with its abundance of vibrant and captivating characters. This is what initially attracted me to the books, and what led me to portray Mrs. Coulter initially

“However, to find myself nestled comfortably within that space, with the opportunity to delve into his script and his very words, it carries a unique sense of wonder.”

Amongst the thrilling aspects of his role, the actor found delight in donning the personas of beloved characters from his TV past, drawing on the acting styles of his fellow cast members to breathe life into these revered personalities

As a passionate cinephile, I’m all set to dive into some works by Lee Scoresby and Stanislaus Grumman. With Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Scott swirling in my thoughts, it’s an exciting mix I must say. Their acting prowess is undoubtedly influencing the way I approach these texts, making for an intriguing reading experience

It’s been quite beneficial to give them a more human touch, allowing the genuine energy from the performers to shine through in these portrayals. This helps create an authentic and natural feel overall

“I’m finding this incredibly enjoyable, despite the fact that it requires a lot of effort. You wouldn’t believe the number of characters and diverse realms involved, and it’s been quite challenging, but I’ve genuinely loved working on it.”

“I’ve just had the pleasure of diving into ‘Northern Lights’, a captivating tale I’m excited to share with you. You can find this masterpiece narrated by the talented Ruth Wilson on Audible, Spotify, and all major audiobook retailers.”
