Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. 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. “We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
Here’s what Lia Henson shared with fans in a statement:
In September 2020, we got the official word that the series had been canceled. In the interview, Lisa Henson avoided answering whether the series was categorically coming back, though. I mean, for a puppet to jump from the carriage to the wheel of the carriage, which is sort of a typical stunt in the human world, that sequence is just amazing.” And to just put that up again would be a huge thing. You have no idea watching the finished show just how big it was. It looks delicate, it looks beautiful, but it’s an incredibly large endeavor. It’s interesting because we like to say that The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was the biggest puppet production in history. “…the COVID concerns are perhaps even multiplied because we have such large crews.
In August 2020, we got an update from Lisa Henson on what’s next for the show who promoted the various comics and how, if the series was renewed, it’d be impacted by COVID-19 saying: So we are ready to go.” and the other co-creator, Will Matthews, saying: “If we are lucky enough to get more seasons then the story will go on and we know where it’s going and it’s maybe more hopeful than you might think.” The series co-creator, Jeffrey Addiss, has been on record saying: “We also have a concrete document for season 2. But by the end of the first season, it’s evident there’s enough story to cover a subsequent season but sadly, in September 2020, the series was canceled after a single outing. It came as a massive surprise to us that The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance wasn’t a limited series. Official Netflix Renewal Status: Canceled (Last Updated: ) The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2 Netflix Renewal Status We are honored to announce The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program! Congrats to all of the incredibly talented artists who brought this fantastic world to life and made the series a reality! Thra rejoices! /QhrN3nt9gi She was presumably preparing to hurl her flat white and artisan sandwich at them in rage.In September 2020, the series scooped an Emmy award for Outstanding Children’s Program. Instead, we saw people visit the pub and pop to the shops as though the Rising were no more inconvenient than the cross-city Luas upgrade.įurther points deducted for the scene in which a woman shouts "here they come, guys!" as the rebels are marched off to prison.
Were that the case, Rebellion ought to have worked harder at conjuring the surreal vista of a city trying to get on with life as an uprising raged. Was the public really going about its everyday business in central Dublin as the two sides slogged it out? But Rebellion was flabby to the point of incoherence – a flaw a shorter running time may have remedied. Yet did we require five hours to learn Easter 1916 impacted profoundly on the lives of ordinary Dubliners? In theory perhaps. The story of The Rising is complex and far-ranging. Reviewing episode one, I gushed over Rebellion's recreation of pre-independence Dublin, with Nelson's Pillar overlooking what was then Sackville Street and a dreadnought docked at the Customs House.Īlas, such money shots grew increasingly infrequent as the series went on and soon the viewer may have suspected the whole thing was filmed on the Fair City backlot, with some starving urchins and horse-drawn carts tossed in at the last minute. We had to drink deep of the female characters' secret heartache.ĥ: The Production Values Weren't Up To It It's not enough that we saw Charlie Murphy and Ruth Bradley don great coats and loaded rifles as they set off to fight for Ireland.
Shining a light on the contribution of women to Irish independence is necessary and overdue.Yet RTE seems of the opinion that you can't put females on screen without focusing on their romantic misadventures. Yet Rebellion held its nose whenever someone reached for a gun – as if the dirty business of killing and dying for Ireland were beneath it. Following from point two, one would think that a protracted shoot-out between a rag-tag of rebels and the pre-eminent military power of the age would have resulted in some memorable fight scenes.
