The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance canceled by Netflix after one season

It took nearly 37 years for The Dark Crystal to see its story expanded onscreen. Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance premiered last summer to critical acclaim, both for its storytelling and the intricacy and imaginativeness of its puppetry, but, despite ending on a cliffhanger, its first season will also be its last. As reported by io9, Age of Resistance’s cancellation has been confirmed by both Netflix and Jim Henson Company CEO and executive producer Lisa Henson.
“We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance,” Henson said in a statement. “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.”
Her statement continues, making note of the Emmy it literally just won:
“Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. Our history also includes productions that are enduring, often finding and growing their audience over time and proving again and again that fantasy and science fiction genres reflect eternal messages and truths that are always relevant. We are so grateful to Netflix for trusting us to realize this ambitious series; we are deeply proud of our work on Age of Resistance, and the acclaim it has received from fans, critics and our peers, most recently receiving an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program.”
