“I fell in love with Philip’s world ofHis Dark Materialswhen I first read the books: they’re so complex in their themes and playing Mrs. Coulter on screen allowed me to explore themes deeper than just her villainy: narcissism, freedom, motherhood, imagination,” Wilson said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Having the opportunity to narrate this series of audiobooks and delve further into Philip’s profoundly intricate world was an honor and a pleasure.”

“Her voice is naturally rich and attractive, and she can vary it with the tiniest possible intonation here or emphasis there and make the story live as vividly in the ear of the listener as I hoped it would have in the eye of the reader.”
