25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2019

21. The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance

The Dark Crystal
Netflix

Who: Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nathalie Emmanuel, Mark Hamill, Simon Pegg, Helen Bonham Carter, Alicia Vikander, Natalie Dormer, and many more!

What: A prequel to the Jim Henson classic from 1982, Age of Resistance will follow three Gelflings – Rian, Brea, and Deet – as they discover the secret behind the Skeksis' power, and undertake a quest to start a rebellion and save the world.

Why: The Dark Crystal is one of those gloriously dark and weird 80s stories that should delight people of all ages, and if Netflix can recapture that then they'll have a real winner on their hands. The Jim Henson Company have been producing alongside Netflix, and there's been a focus on using some real puppets alongside CGI, so hopefully it can accomplish that. Plus, the voice cast is insane.

Where & When: Netflix, TBC

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
