Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal is nothing less than a cult classic, so when it was announced that Netflix would be creating a prequel to the 1982 fantasy masterpiece fans were understandably excited. Today the streamer revealed the first trailer for the 10 episode series which centers on a new group of Gelfling protagonists who must go on a journey to “discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis.”
Far from the lo-fi landscapes of the original, the trailer showcases a sprawling world filled with epic locations and brand new puppets. The series also features an all-star cast including Simon Pegg, Mark Hamill, Anya Taylor-Johnson, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Taron Egerton. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the Netflix original looks to expand on the mythical lore of the beloved ’80s film by utilizing Henson’s famed puppetry and cutting edge visual effects.
