Netflix releases trailer for THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE

Netflix have released a trailer for their upcoming Dark Crystal prequel series, Age of Resistance.

The Dark Crystal was originally a movie released in 1982, a collaboration between Jim Henson and Frank Oz. The fantasy film was a modest box office success, but gained much greater popularity on video, becoming a cult hit. A sequel was proposed early on, The Power of the Dark Crystal, but many of the creatives involved were sidetracked onto other projects; Power eventually saw life as a graphic novel series in 2017.

Age of Resistance is instead a ten-part prequel to the film, delving deeper into the Gelfling and Skeksis cultures and expanding the world.

The series will be released worldwide on Netflix on 30 August.
