Netflix has shared a brand new thriller trailer for the highly anticipated series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance! The trailer offers lots of stunning and adventurous new footage from the film that is sure to get fans even more excited for what is coming!
This is a beautifully made series filled with stunning visuals. I had a chance to watch the first episode at Comic-Con this summer and I loved it! As I watched it, all those fond memories I have of watching the original movie as a kid came flooding back. Luckily we don’t have to wait much longer to watch the full series!
The show is based on Jim Henson’s classic 1982 feature film The Dark Crystal. The story is set several years before the events of the original classic movie that many of us grew up watching. In this new story, “We find that the world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins.”
