Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance CANCELLED! Now What?

[@TheChazzmander]

Every single scene is such a piece of art and I cannot appreciate this series enough. It has given the world such a rich community and nostalgia that we truly need right now. As a very new fan I am simply devastated that such a detailed and story driven art piece and award winning show would get treated this way. I would love for Thra to going and I would even wait a thousand trine.

SAY WHAT!? Why do all the really cool shows get cancelled for shitty replacements? AOR was well written and the characters were so life-like you couldn’t help growing to like them. You were immersed into the world of Thra, coming to believe it was truly real with its vast history, cultures and creatures. I really hope another streaming network agrees to film it. Really wanna know what’ll happen next.

[@luvzfrance24]

This is such a slap in the face and a middle finger coming from Netflix. I can’t believe they announce this after the show wins an Emmy.

[@michcookies]

I’m so disappointed that there won’t be a second series. I first saw the film in '85 when I was 4 and watched it over and over and it’s been my favourite ever since. It inspired me to take up art as a hobby because I loved drawing the characters, and even now as I turn 40 it’s still a huge influence on my artwork. The amount of work that went into the show, you can tell it was a work of love and it would be a shame if it were to go to waste.

[@cinnamongrader6608]

Netflix: There will be no season 2 of “The Dark Crystal: age of resistance.” Skeksil and audience shriek: “The shame!”

[@MyThirdUserAccount]

Netflix canceled this show and I immediately canceled my subscription and pirated a bunch of Netflix shows I'm not even going to watch, just to seed them 24/7 so other people can plunder Netflix too. They clearly can't be trusted with money and decision making, so I wanted to do my part and help ensure they get less of both going forward. Seems others have followed suit as well.

[@vanessaaiselbrown3521]

In my opinion, they have four options to save the series. 1) they just move it to another streaming service. ( which is honestly the best way to go) 2) they just wait till the coronavirus blows over, cuz I'm pretty sure that's the reason It was cancelled. 3)continue the series through comics, which I *really* don't want them to do and 4) continue the series, but have it animated. ( which, personally, I think they should do)

[@ShadeMeadows]

Lets hope they can pick the best options~

[@DragonFang409]

I feel like so much magic would be lost without the puppets. They showed examples of what they would’ve done if it was animated (granted it was CG, not traditional) and it just didn’t feel right. It’s like if Laika made a new film but it just wasn’t stop-motion this time. I think a huge amount of the wonder of AoR was from the hard work and talent of the puppeteers. I’m just hoping they’ll able to do something along the lines of moving to another service as I feel it’s the best alternative right now.

[@the13thtonino56]

@@DragonFang409 I totally agree. I would not like a 2d or 3d animation series at all. It would not be DC without puppets.

[@rob-boticscalisthenicshome6355]

Some channel out there has got to pick this up. This show inspired a whole new generation. It was great to see animation using real objects, linked with some CGI. I was lucky to be a kid when the original came to screen, I loved it. when I told my neices about the series they gave it a watch and their reaction to it was amazing. They loved the art of it and the realism of the puppets when compared to CGI animation. In my humble opinion this was one of the best programmes on the tv that I've seen for years. Please someone save this.

[@tiffanybriley6871]

Netfilx just screwed itself with this move. This series was so beautifuly done it is a pity they have no desire to continue it.

[@leonie7754]

I hope it gets picked up by another service, like when Netflix cancelled The Expanse, amazon bought them up and continued the series (it might be an exception, but it means it is a slim possibility). Whoever picks it up will get a good follower base subscribing to them so I hope one of the services sees the potential and at least attempts to buy the rights off Netflix! I really don't want it to be told over comics after such as an amazing show :(

[@RaikenXion]

It just shows pure hypocrisy how Netflix can cancel Age of Resistance when its so well beloved but they wont cancel Cuties. Lisa must be so gutted, i hope she can find another service that will pick it up. We hardly have any puppetry shows with practical effects these days its all shallow cgi.

In terms of which streaming service will get the show I would like for Disney+ to pick it up or do a continuation series of Age of Resistance given that they already have _Earth to Ned_ another Jim Henson Co. Show is on the service. I know this is asking too much, but the show and the setting of Thra does seem to fit well with Disney and the Disney+ originals, however it will largely come down to whether the Jim Henson Company and especially Disney are interested in continuing the show and have this aired on Disney+, cause the latter Company is interested mainly on The Muppets as well as the many different Marvel & Star Wars projects for the service and while Disney has done expensive projects such as The Mandalorian and the forthcoming MCU Disney+ series (WandaVision, Falcon & the Winter Soldier, Loki, etc.) none of them compare to the very expensive cost of "Age of Resistance".

[@jordantucker9799]

Strong shame of what happen to AoR, I've been seeing the comments saying Disney should pick up the pace but I believe it should be HBOMax or maybe Amazon. Those are the companies that will allow the creators to freely work on the show, I'm worried if Disney does take it up they will tune it down in order to "appease wider audience" taking away the value of what makes Dark Crystal unique. Plus has anyone keep track of whats going on lately with Disney there practically relying on there other revenues just to stay afloat and barely made anything good themselves.

[@roberthintz4017]

There's hope. Lisa Henson stated, "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.". Age of Resistance could be brought back as an animated series like Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Dragon Prince. In fact, it probably would've been better that Age of Resistance was an animated series from the beginning.

And it will begin on the great conjunction after the movie at which giant aliens and the beast from krill show up affecting everything in profound ways and instigating all kinds of quests.. No skeksi and very little crystal apart from the ones krulls villain uses. Like the Sega Saturn game astal which shares the dark crystal style.

And to anyone who says that Disney will remove the Dark and frightening content, keep in mind that _The Dark Crystal_ film and its series are PG, and Disney has done PG/PG-13 fare that do get dark and frightening such as The Black Cauldron, Return to Oz, the first Pirates of the Caribbean film and some of its later films, the 2016 Jungle Book film, the Star Wars series, some of the MCU films and let's not forget some of Disney's earlier animated films like Snow White, Pinocchio, and Fantasia also had scenes that were also dark and frightening.

The money the first one cost was in a huge workforce. The executives of the Jim Henson Corp don't need the money. They have historically made very few films and usually not back to back that's been forever. Mirror mask and waterhorse and that stuff came out sloooow and were mostly. Stand alone the thing about AOR was it attracted an a list cast which wasn't intended and so S2 just can't have the same energy. If they were also investors then the Jim Henson Corp probably made a fortune when Netflix cancelled them.
