Prepare to be hooked from episode one of this brand new fantasy series that has just been added to the September Netflix line-up.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is a story set in the ancient world of Thra, an ancient world on the bring of destruction or salvation, which is inhabited by Geflings (the goodies). When the evil Skeksis damage the Crystal of Truth – the heart of the magical kingdom – a dark sickness spreads across the land and a momentous battle to save the planet begins.
Three brave Gelfling: Rian, Brea and Deet, inspire a rebellion against the power-hungry overlords when they discover a horrifying secret behind their power that threatens everyone.
A prequel to the groundbreaking 1982 film (The Dark Crystal) that is set years before the movie, the epic adventure unfolds across ten, hour-long episodes.
A star-studded cast lend their voices to the mythical creatures of Thra including Taron Egerton (Rocketman and the Kingsman series) as warrior Rian, Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) as Deet and Anya Taylor-Joy (who is also the voice of the hero in the new Playmobile movie) as the scholarly princess Brea.
Comedian Eddie Izzard, Sigourney Weaver (Avatar) and Simon Pegg (The World’s End) also star.
Big kids will love the battle scenes, little kids will adore the loveable puppet characters and adults will be delighted that there is no fighting over the remote control.
September, Netflix
