"We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance," The Jim Henson Company CEO and executive producer Lisa Henson told

The Dark Crystal saga concludes and we’ll look for ways to tell that story in the future. Our company has a legacy of creating rich and complex worlds that require technical innovation, artistic excellence, and masterful storytelling. Our history also includes productions that are enduring, often finding and growing their audience over time and proving again and again that fantasy and science fiction genres reflect eternal messages and truths that are always relevant."
"We are so grateful to Netflix for trusting us to realize this ambitious series; we are deeply proud of our work on
Age of Resistance, and the acclaim it has received from fans, critics and our peers, most recently receiving an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program," Henson continued.
In a statement of its own, Netflix said, "We are grateful to the master artists at the Jim Henson Company for bringing
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance to life for fans around the world. We’re thankful to the executive producers Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford, and Louis Leterrier, who also directed all episodes, as well as the writers, cast and crew for their outstanding work and thrilled they were recognized with the Emmy this weekend."
