Children of the ’80s, rejoice! Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance — a prequel series set before the events of Jim Henson’s 1982 movie, The Dark Crystal — finally has a full-blown teaser trailer that is dark and beautiful, and will get you feeling nostalgic for movies of a bygone day, when animatronic puppets were considered cutting edge technology.
Former Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) voices one of the main characters, Deet. See if you can pick out her voice in the trailer. Enjoy:
“The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance returns to the world of Thra with an all new adventure,” reads the official synopsis. “When three Gelfling discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power, they set out on an epic journey to ignite the fires of rebellion and save their world.”
