The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is an American fantasy television series produced by Netflix and The Jim Henson Company. It is a prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson film The Dark Crystal that explores the world of Thra created for the original film.
A millennium ago on the planet Thra, two new races appeared when a shard was shattered from the Crystal of Truth: the malevolent Skeksis whose continued corruption of the Crystal to extend their lives ravaged Thra, and the gentle urRu, more commonly known as the Mystics, who made their home in the Valley of Stones to await for their destiny.
When the Crystal of Truth is damaged by the evil Skeksis and a sickness spreads across the planet Thra, three brave Gelflings unite on a quest to uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, fight off the darkness, and save their world.
