Netflix has released the first images for The Dark Crystal prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which is based on the iconic 1982 film from pioneer Jim Henson. The 10-episode show returns to the world of Thra with an all new adventure, as three Gelfing discover the horrifying secret behind Skeksis’ power and set out on a journey to ignite the fires of rebellion to save their world. As you can see in these images, thankfully Age of Resistance maintains the puppets that made Henson’s original film so endearing. The show will use a mixture of the Henson puppeteering and cutting-edge visual effects.

Additionally, Netflix has revealed the voice cast for the series. The leads are Kingsman star Taron Egerton as Rian, The Witch breakout Anya Taylor-Jor as Brea, and Game of Thrones alum Nathalie Emmanuel as Deet—our three Gelfing heroes. Aughra will be voiced by Donna Kimball (The Happytime Murders).

Seriously this look half terrible. Jerky movements too much like a puppets in which they are is putting me right off. The biggest turn off is the inconsistency of human in full costume, CGI and puppets control.

Puppets scare me.

like the original film lol

I mean that's what puzzles me

I hear the original film referenced more for its creepiness than its quality

You haven't seen it yet? There's a lovely 4K remaster out there. I guess I should've seen it when I was a lil kid. Guess like The Never-ending Story, which I did saw when I was very young. I haven't seen that film in ages but I've got quite fond memories of it but I heard someone say it's actually pretty bad? lol anyway it had some very scary and emotional scenes for sure
