John Tartaglia is the first to admit that he’s a big fan of “Fraggle Rock.”
Like a really big fan.
The puppeteer was getting ready to go leave his Jim Henson Co. office to start working from home due to the coronavirus outbreak when he called the company’s president of television Halle Stanford.
“I had been keeping the Fraggles in my office and I called her and said, ‘Should I take the Fraggles home with me?’” Tartaglia tells Variety. “I know this sounds silly, but I just felt we should bring them home because I couldn’t stand the thought of these incredibly loved characters sitting alone in the office for so long.”
Little did anyone know that two weeks later, as the Henson team was brainstorming new projects that could address the pandemic, Stanford would receive a call to reboot the series.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” including the finale.]
By the end of “The Dark Crystal” prequel series “Age of Resistance,” the Gelfling forces have come together and enjoyed their first victory, but not until after a hard-fought battle. This isn’t “Game of Thrones” and certainly doesn’t have that time or budget, but the series still was able to fashion an epic Skeksis-Gelfling face-off that produced many heroes, suffered some heartbreaking losses, and even shocked with a couple major surprises.
“From a production standpoint, there were many discussions and some of them got a little grave. At one point, we thought: ‘It’s too big. It’s too much. It’ll take too long. It’ll cost too much. It’s too hard to do. Maybe can we make it smaller and not do battle,'” said co-creator Will Matthews. “At one point everything was on the table...

This Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance review contains no spoilers, except for some information that was presented in the series’ trailers. It is based on all ten episodes of the debut season.
While it earned a modest profit during its original 1982 theatrical run, The Dark Crystal never lived up to the high expectations that Universal or project mastermind Jim Henson had for it. Influenced by everything from new age philosophy to classic fantasy works, the film – directed by Henson and frequent collaborator Frank Oz – was a technical marvel that told its ambitious story through revolutionary puppetry techniques. While a bit derivative of Lord of the Rings and Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey The Dark Crystal had plenty of innovation of its own. The problem, for lack of a better word,...

As if the wait wasn’t already too long, Netflix has released the first full trailer for “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” and unsurprising for fans of Jim Henson’s 1982 cult classic, it’s filled with some incredible scenes — and equally incredible puppetry.
Watch the trailer above.
Set many years before the events of the original film, “Age of Resistance” tells the story of how the damaged world of Thra came to be. You can see plenty of that in the trailer, which shows how the Skeksis, previously seen as the benign leaders of Thra, are now pushing the planet into “the darkening” due to their overuse of the energy contained in The Crystal of Truth — that’s the one that goes dark. We also see how the Gelflings unite to oppose them, with plenty of gorgeous scenery and thrills galore in the meantime.

Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance will serve as a prequel to the 1982 fantasy classic from Jim Henson.
The Dark Crystal entered the pop culture fray as a fantastical theatrical offering during the 1982 Christmas season. Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, featuring groundbreaking animatronics and imaginative creatures from Henson’s Creature Shop, the Tolkien-esque fantasy film earned fans, but was hardly a box office smash. However, the fandom apparently endured enough to warrant Netflix’s greenlight for offshoot series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
The 10-episode series – a prequel set many years before the events of the movie – will be directed and executive-produced by Louis Leterrier, a French helmer who’s best known from work on The Transporter and its sequel, as well as Marvel Cinematic Universe sophomore offering The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans, Now You See Me and The Brothers Grimsby.
