THE DARK CRYSTAL Season 2 Has Not Yet Been Ordered, But Producers Are 'Ready To Go'
Fans of the 1982 film The Dark Crystal have been pretty excited to get back into the world of Thra and find out the history of their favorite characters in the series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance which began at the beginning of the Labor Day weekend. Some fans took advantage of the holiday weekend and binged right through the ten-episode first season with the hope that there will be a second season in the future. While Netflix has not yet given a green light to a second season, the series has seemed to have gotten off to a good start, and the producers are ready to return and continue the story.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, the writers and producers Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews had this to say about creating the series and what they hope for its future:
“When Jeff and I pitched the show to Netflix way back four years ago, we had an ending that we care a great deal about. We had an ending that talks to the movie and the problem you described,” said Matthews. “If we are lucky enough to get more seasons then the story will go on and we know where it’s going and it’s maybe more hopeful than you might think.”
Addiss added:
“We also have a concrete document for season two. So we are ready to go.”
That is great to hear. And for the fans of the film who believe they know everything else there is to know about the story, writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach had this to say about the story’s future, as well as the thoughts that the story is headed for an all-out genocide:
“We hear what we call the G-word a lot in these interviews because of what the movie presents. But the movie is a pretty small story. And one of the recurring tropes of the show is that the story is much bigger than you imagine and much more complicated. Thra is very unpredictable and it follows rules that are consistent, but they may not be the rules you think thy are, so you need to be very careful about watching that movie and assuming that you know everything.”
So there you have it. There is still some mystery ahead if we are lucky enough to continue the series. Did you finish season one yet? What are you expecting from an upcoming season?
