The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Is Cancelled After One Season

Netflix has announced that The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has been cancelled after just one season. The news comes following a win at the Emmy’s for Outstanding Children’s Program. 

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was a prequel series to The Dark Crystal film with some of the same characters but a bigger focus on expanding the lore of the universe. 

Some of the star voice talent in the series included Taron Egerton, Nathalie Emmanuel, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Isaacs, Benedict Wong, Keegan-Michael Key, Mark Hamill and Simon Pegg. 

The series combined the use of classic puppetry and digital effects that weren’t available when the first film was made to produce a look that felt like the original film but was able to draw in new viewers. Though, it was apparently, not enough new viewers. 

 Lisa Henson, an executive producer on the series said the following about the series’ cancellation:

“We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of The Dark Crystal saga concludes and we’ll look for ways to tell that story in the future. Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. Our history also includes productions that are enduring, often finding and growing their audience over time and proving again and again that fantasy and science fiction genres reflect eternal messages and truths that are always relevant. We are so grateful to Netflix for trusting us to realize this ambitious series; we are deeply proud of our work on Age of Resistance, and the acclaim it has received from fans, critics and our peers, most recently receiving an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program.”
