A prequel television series, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, premiered on Netflix in 2019. As the Gelfling race on the planet Thra becomes aware of the fact that their customarily worshiped overlords, the Skeksis, are exploitative, taxing essence-suckers who are destroying their world, three Gelflings—Rian, Brea and Deet—inspire a rebellion after discovering a horrifying secret behind the Skeksis' power that threatens their entire planet.
