‘Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance’ Final Trailer: Netflix’s Spin-Off Of The Jim Henson Cult Classic Looks Downright Incredible

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance” is the upcoming Netflix fantasy series that is a spin-off of the 1982 cult-classic film “The Dark Crystal.” That film has lived on for almost 4 decades thanks to the incredible story and puppeteer work from the legendary Jim Henson. But let’s be real, outside of some very niche fans, “The Dark Crystal” isn’t a franchise that is a household name in 2019. That being said, even if you haven’t watched “The Dark Crystal,” you should be excited for ‘Age of Resistance.’

Why should you care about ‘Age of Resistance?’ Well, first, the puppeteering looks incredible and carries the same spirit of Henson’s original, as seen in the new trailer for the series. And secondly, there’s a cast attached to the series that rivals any series on TV or film in theaters. It’s packed with great talent, all lending their unmistakable voices to what could be the most unique series that Netflix has released to date.
