The acclaimed actress will narrate new audiobook editions of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' fantasy series

⁘I fell in love with Philip's world of His Dark Materials when 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."

Wilson is also set to narrate the other two novels in the series, with The Amber Spyglass featuring a recorded conversation between Wilson and Pullman. The series' original audio recordings, narrated by Pullman, will also still be available alongside the new editions.

"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."
