Netflix just dropped an amazing new look at the upcoming The Dark Crystal prequel series, Age of Resistance. According to Gizmodo It’s the first time we’ve really get to hear a good chunk of the extensive and equally impressive vocal cast in action, but it’s also a reminder that holy mother of Thra, this show looks gorgeous.
Yes, there’s all the good stuff you’d expect out of a fantasy adventure—foreboding portents, evil machinations, heroes uniting on an epic quest to resist the evil threatening the land, and so on and so forth. But it’s not just the fantasy that’s epic here, it’s the remarkable sense of scale Age of Resistance has as a production. The puppets, the sets, the CG used to amp those impressive practical elements up a notch even further…it’s honestly still remarkable just how good this all looks. We can’t wait to see it all in action.
“And now everyone and everything is at risk.” Netflix just released a new trailer for their upcoming TV show, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance premieres on Netflix on August 30th.
