Fleabag's Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge to reunite for season 2 of His Dark Materials

We LOVE these two together!

One of the best things about Fleabag was the chemistry between Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The show is absolutely brilliant in its own right, but their passionate relationship was a pivotal part of the second season - it was just so believable, thanks to the pair being such good friends in real life.

So it's pretty exciting to hear that they're teaming up once again! Andrew and Phoebe will be working together on the second season of His Dark Materials, the trailer for which has just been released.

Andrew appeared in the first season very briefly, mostly shown in photographs as the missing father of a mysterious boy in another world, who seemed to be of interest to some rather scary people from main character Lyra Belacqua's world.

He'll become a main character in the second season, and has a Daemon - and this is where Phoebe comes in. Characters in Lyra's world are 'manifestations of the human's soul' - an animal they can speak to which is the opposite gender to them... And Phoebe will be voicing Andrew's Daemon!

Andrew confirmed the news at a virtual Comic Con panel for the show yesterday, saying, "My daemon is going to be played by somebody who is very close to me in real life, which is a young performer and writer called Phoebe Waller-Bridge."

We cannot wait!
