Last year, Netflix launched Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, a fantasy web TV series. It serves as a prequel to Jim Henson’s beloved 1982 film.
The original movie centered on the world of Thra. Netflix recreated this world in a ten-episode series, focusing on its creatures and battles.
In the series, the Gelfling discover that their rulers, the Skeksis, have been exploiting and harming their world. This discovery sparks a war between them.
We’ll explore whether Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2 will debut this year and what storyline it might follow.
Background
In season one, the three Gelflings, Rian, Brea, and Deet, discover the gruesome secret behind Skeksis’ power.
They inspire others to rebel with them so that they can save their planet from destruction.
It ended with the destruction of the planet, the truth crystal.
About The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2
Season one of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance ended in a way that it did not leave much for the continuation of season two.
After a few months of hiatus, the creator, Jeffrey Addiss, confirmed that they have concrete substance for season two.
The co-creator Will Matthews also said that he was pretty much hopeful about continuing the series.
Since season one was too labor-intensive for everyone, season two will be no less and worth the effort in the end.
Hopefully, the cost of production will be cut with the already made costumes, puppets, and sets for season 1.
As a fact, about 2,500 hundred people worked on season one.
Season 2 Plot
Season one ended with seven Gelfling clans uniting to fight against the Skeksis.
Gelfling did win the battle of Stone in Wood. But, they have not won the war against the Skesis.
Moreover, the Scientist managed to create a monster called, the Garthim which is powered by the dark crystal.
The monster is the key tool to win the war over the Gelflings to steal their essence. Eventually, this leads to The Garthim War.
