The first fantastical footage for Netflix’s upcoming live-action puppetry/CG VFX series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has arrived in a new teaser trailer. Launching August 30, the 10 x 60’ adventure based on Jim Henson’s groundbreaking 1982 movie is directed by Louis Leterrier, and stars Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nathalie Emmanuel as three Gelfling heroes.
Age of Resistance is set many years before the events of the movie. 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.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is produced by The Jim Henson Company.
