The first teaser for
Netflix's upcoming 10-episode prequel series to Jim Henson and Frank Oz'
classic film The Dark Crystal has been released.
Original conceptual
designer Brian Froud returns to create new characters for the series, which
will be executive produced by Now You See Me director Louis Leterrier.
"Louis Leterrier
is passionate about the world of The Dark Crystal and has an incredible
creative vision for the series," said the CEO of The Jim Henson Company, Lisa
Henson. "He brings this passion to every facet of the production as he leads
the talented team of artists and writers that are bringing this entire universe
to life. Netflix has a deep respect for my father’s original work and the many
people it inspired. They are the perfect partners to create this next epic
chapter in The Dark Crystal story for new fans and the loyal fans who have
waited so long for more adventures from this world."
Furthermore, "The
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will combine the art of puppetry perfected
by The Jim Henson Company, with Louis’ vision, powerful storytelling and a mix
of cutting-edge digital imagery and visual effects. I can’t wait for
families around the world to see how we bring these unique characters to
life," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix.
Set several years
before the events of the 1982 movie, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power, they set out on an
epic journey to ignite the fires of rebellion and save their world.
