About The Dark Crystal
Jim Henson's puppet fantasy spans a 1982 film and a ten-episode Netflix prequel from 2019.
The series is set generations before the film, so release order protects the original's mysteries while chronological order reframes them for a rewatch.
Good to know
Netflix cancelled Age of Resistance after one season in September 2020 despite an Emmy win, and no revival has been announced as of September 2026.
