No award could save it: ‘Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance’ is canceled

The series was amazing and nowhere near an “expensive disappointment” compared to the thousands of low-budget movies that Netflix has in their catalog. I am certain it was a dream come true for the puppeteers and engineers that worked on the project as well as fans like myself that loved the original movie. If Hulu or Disney+ picks up the series, Netflix will regret this decision.

I’m so very disappointed in Netflix cancelling the Dark Crystal! I have grown old sharing the movie with my children and now grandchildren, the 1st season of Resistance was a wish come true. Would have loved to see more seasons come to life, will miss the whole crew and the dreamers who brought them all into our homes.

Dark crystal was a work of art. Im sad that they cancelled it to a cliffhanger.

Very sad this awesome series was cancelled. I sure Lisa Henson does indeed find a way to tell the story in the future. Would have loved a second series.

Money over quality. Profit over art. Garbage decision. The themes explored in this amazing work are more mature and timely than most stuff out there.

Hopefully Netflix goes the way of the dinosaur they tend to do this with every good show that said hopefully a company that cares about their shows picks it up.

IMO, it’s out of question any other way to get a closure but a second season, all the efforts and commitment invested in the first season are worth it!

Has to be another season! Its the only show I have watched over on Netflix, its so beautiful and perfect. I need to know what happens to Deet!

“According to sources, Sarandos believes Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance was “an expensive disappointment” ”

No. You’re an expensive disappointment. I hope they cancel YOU Sarandos. Literally no logic to this decision at all.

It’s an extremely expensive show to get started due to the immense cost of the puppets/scenery/training/puppeteers /etc. Now with that cost out of the way and nothing but extremely positive feedback from fans and media/reviews/awards you decide to cancel the show? You already made the investment and it worked, at least make one more season to recoup some of that money and give the fans some kind of closure. Illogical and stupid. Netflix wonders why people aren’t subscribing and they’re losing money. Doesn’t take a genius to know that these are the reasons why.

Whoever is smart enough to pick up the second season will win a huge reward for sure. Now that you got all our and our children’s attention it’s time to keep it, especially our children as they grow. If a show can hold the attention and love of multiple generations then they have done something more that just got the job done. Too bad I go guess Netflix just wants the quick buck and not the enduring foundation?

I was very disappointed when I heard this. Me and my two oldest daughters loved age of resistance. I´ve watched it all several times and still find it magical. To me it brouhgt back the magic of the movie and how I loved the story as a child. I would really have preferred a second season, since the skillful pupeteers adds an important part of that magic to me.

So very sad- Age Of Resistance is a work of Art… that there is not a second season for this beautifully made producing is a true leadership failure..
if you want Europeans to watch … USE Subtitles..
SHAME SHAME SHAME…

Netflix cancels all of my favorite shows with substance. They keep literal garbage on there. Sense8, now Dark Crystal. I’m just so done with them. Prefer my HBO Max and Disney+ now.

what about Disney. could they be interested in picking up help get this great family story back up. with Disney+ gives the platform to help it. I also think Disney should look into some of these other films netfix is cutting out second season when the story only just begun. and surely with covid yes filming will have it new challenges but all filming in these times does. but to story is there. the artist and actors are they to make it work and keep it alive. Have faith in it.

Well it looks like netfix is trying to be the myspace of streaming. They cone on show what can be done and instead of growing they take steps back and before they know it everyone else will have passed them up. It takes shows like the Darkcrystal to keep a wide viewership. Its just a shame to watch what at first got me to get netflix now be puts to the side for shoddy work. It makes me want to get rid of netflix. Im starting to hope they don’t pick up Percy Jackson. I’d hate to see a great season only to have them drop it for 4 new b level slap stick movies.

we need another seasons. theres so much to explore with the story and technology of puppets and how the works of puppets can still beat good CGI. what other series can you say gets all family ages together and wanting to watch the next episode together. JIm work company does that and who knows this could lead to more programs using great puppeteering or get future young people wanting to go into puppeteering work career.

I do want season two of Dark Crystal Age of Resistance because I want to see what’s going on in the series. When I started to feel about new characters and more might in series. All I know is what happens to Deet and the Skeksis use the Garthim to destroy the Gelfling. I just hope Disney plus pick it up so I don’t be sad and bored was what will to happen to all the characters especially Deet. Please bring the story back and I happy to see it.

I want season two of dark Crystal Age of Resistance and I prefer on Disney plus I be happy to see new characters and more. I can watch continue the rest of the story. And I can’t wait for series.

I want still season two of Dark Crystal Age of Resistance and I am a huge fan. I can watch on Disney plus it could work out right away and I love to see new characters and more to the story it will be exciting. I wish they bring it back this year in Disney plus.

Please Disney or HBO, pick this gem up. I want to see a continuation of this magnificent series.

This absolutely has to at least have one more season to close it out. It’s the only reason that I even subscribed to netflix in the first place. I will be cancelling it now. There is nothing good left on there anymore. With the loss of this as well as charmed. Pointless. So many awful low budget movies and shows on here. I hope disney or prime or someone picks this up. I’m sure it would profit. They definitely would from me!!

If Netflix ended several low budget bullshits series which they certainly have enough of then they could easily extend this epic series loved by many!

I be glad to get second season that Disney plus will pick it up by the time. I don’t have to wait if that’s fine with them is they can get it now and I being happy to see and watch.

That is such sad news. I litterally finished watching it again yesterday. I love that series. They left it on such a big cliff hanger.
The dark crystal was such a big film in my childhood.
I understand that netflix wants to be more international
But I can honestly say I don’t watch all the foreign films they have available. Some of the rubbish they air on jetflix and now they take this away it was a bad decision one that has left me sad. Lets hope prime video or as a comment above maybe Disney can continue it. If I could I would fund it. I wonder if a fundraiser can be made so that all the fans pay for it together. Maybe there is enough of us. I would gladly pay its so worth it and I’m dying to know the next saga for thra

So sad, i was hoping for season 2 for winter holidays… :(

This was the biggest disappointing/mistake coming out of Netflix. This show was breathtaking, incredible and captured the hearts of not only myself, but my children and other members of my family including members of my family that don’t like puppeteering as an art medium. Blaming COVID for this would also be a mistake as they could have simply announced a TBT postpone hold on the show until things settle down.

However instead Netflix gave us something special, and it achieved the highest honor in awards…and then they slapped all of us in the face and told us they don’t care…while all of these other low budget garbage shows get multiple seasons and low ratings. Like any other industry, I feel Netflix has a responsibly to their subscribers that if they release content that is successful or award winning, they need to follow through and finish the work for the fans, regardless of excuses.

I was super close to cancelling my Netflix subscription after hearing this news but kept it because of Castlevania…which is the only other show on Netflix that I truly care about. I can’t support a company or trust Netflix to continue other newly created shows I like if they can’t even keep this one that won an emmy.

Me too I was thinking about is season two on new stream maybe Disney plus is now.

I discovered late that there was a Dark Crystal pre-quel series and finally subscribed to Netflix to watch it and other fantastic shows and movies available. I have three more episodes to complete! Like others who commented, I LOVE the Age of Resistance series and want to see it continue or even see a movie made! The original movie enchanted me as a kid and continues to inspire me as an artist. I am hopeful Lisa Henson and the Froud family will find a way to continue the story. It is beautiful – a unicorn in today’s cg world – and as critics back in the day deemed, “timeless”. I will be keeping close watch on updates from the Henson’s about their plans for the franchise. I can’t wait for more!

Please it will come on Disney plus that I’m sure it must show up this Christmas as soon as the Jim Henson Company bring it back on stream service.

Please renew a second season!! I was hoping for a second one while I was still watching the first one! It was so successful and won awards. The plot isn’t even concluded. Its also my favorite and the best on Netflix

I canceled my Netflix when they canceled this show.

Bring back Dark Crystal!

The World NEEDS the second Season badly. And probably more after that.

I watched this with my family. Everyone one loved it.
We’re really disappointed there is no season 2.
This weekend we’re planning to re-watch season 1.

Why are they canceling good shows but keep garbage on like Money Heist and Dark ? Talk about being out of touch with people.

As much as I like Netflix, after this and Away were cancelled, I seriously considering cancelling my Netflix account. I did not renew after a credit card change for several months. I signed up a gain but after seeing some of the crap that has replaced these shows I am debating cancelling again after I see the shows I wanted to finish/continue this year. The presence of Shadow and Bone and a few others may convince me to stay but if that gets cancelled…. goodbye Netflix. There is no point in watching shows that will never get finished. I REALLY hope someone else picks up the Dark Crystal Series.

Anyone who thinks Disney+ picking it up would be a good idea needs to have their head examined. Disney’s Leftist agenda, and their allegiance to the Chinese govt, would mean the end of this show. and in not a good way.

I would love to see a sequel series or at least another film to supplement this series & link to the original film. Its really annoying that Netflix does this. They have no obligation or customer/fan support. At least give the producers a chance to finish the story!
I certainly would buy a DVD of a second film or a few episodes to complete the story.

Over a year later and I’m still mad about this insult to the fans of not only Dark Crystal, but of Jim Henson overall. Ted Sarandos is the real Emperor of The Skeksis here. The only “Expensive disappointment” is his existence in this company and his little entourage. Can’t gain international following of a show if you don’t give it a long enough chance, you sog sucker. Ted Sarandos, you disgust me.
