Reply to comment by StudentDPT in THE DARK CRYSTAL Is Returning To Theaters In Celebration of 40th Anniversary! - Icon Vs. Icon by _coffee_

Every time I see a news story about The Dark Crystal, I get pissed off at Netflix all over again. The cancellation of Age of Resistance is probably the biggest Netflix disappointment I've had. People joke about Netflix cancelling shows after three seasons, but we didn't even get a second season.

Heck, they even got some of the Game of Thrones actors and actresses to voice some of the new Gelflings. I remember the cancellation was announced not long after Age of Resistance won an Emmy for "Outstanding Children's Program".

The voice cast altogether was pretty fucking insane.

Taron Egerton, Anya Taylor Joy, Simon Pegg, Keegan Michael Key, Benedict Wong, Awkwafina, Jason Isaacs, Mark Hamill, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Mark Strong, Helena Bonham Carter, Sigourney Weaver, Lena Headey, Eddie Izzard, Alicia Vikander.

Even if just for voice roles, I can already see how that show might've been over budget

maybe… i bet a lot of a-listers might take less to be a part of it though… the Dark Crystal is so EPIC i bet many jumped on the opportunity…
