The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Director Wants The Series To Return One Day

It’s been three plus years ago, and people still remember how epic the live-action animatronic/puppet dark fantasy show The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was. It was the prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson movie and was aired on Netflix; the fact that it was a critical darling in 2019 made its cancellation after 1 season all the more perplexing.

The director of the show Louis Leterrier, who is currently handling Fast & Furious X, has a lot to say about the show even up until now (via io9). Most of them unanimously positive, to the point where he really wants the show to come back.

“I won’t tell you. Because I still have hope that it can come back.

I mean, who would have thought that 37 years later that [we would’ve been able to bring Dark Crystal back]? So, I have high hopes. You know, it might not be me. It might be my grandson or, you know, Jim Henson’s great-grandson, but somebody will direct the rest of this show because we need to tell that story. And beyond. I mean, Thra is a place we want to go to.”

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is out now on Netflix. You should go watch all 10 episodes if you haven’t yet; it’s good stuff. Leterrier’s other film, Fast X, is coming out on 19 May.
