Time sure does fly and it seems like only yesterday when we shared the news and the teaser trailer for the upcoming Netflix Original Series “The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance” and if you’d like to be on point with the all the related content just click HERE to see that one. While the Jim Henson creation is returning to us via the small screen in the coming weeks, a brand-new trailer was unveiled and I am sharing that with you down below. I’ve also copied the MASSIVE voice and puppeteer casting from the other post to keep on point. Let’s go.
The Synopsis: As the Gelfling race on the planet Thra become aware of the fact that their customarily worshiped overlords, the Skeksis, are exploitative, taxing essence-suckers who are destroying their world, three Gelflings — Rian, Brea and Deet — inspire a rebellion after discovering a horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power that threatens their entire planet.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This really looks good and I am saying this as someone who enjoyed the teaser clip already. Now I mentioned in the other post that I will need to review the original film before getting involved in this series and upon comparing just how much is unwatched on my DVR, feel it might be tricky to do first week. I am definitely going to be watching this one and I wonder what feelings this new full trailer might have left you with. Please feel free to chime in down below in the comments. See you next time.
