Reviving a Cult Classic
There have been plans to take audiences back to the puppet-populated world of Thra for many years, according to Lisa Henson, executive producer and daughter of late Muppets creator Jim Henson.
“We were either going to make a sequel feature film or an animated television show,” Henson revealed. “But we were very intrigued by the idea of telling a prequel story, going back in time to recreate the Gelfling civilization before they were attacked by the Skeksis.”
The original movie takes place in the ruins of a world overrun by evil, vulture-like creatures known as Skeksis. The series will reveal how the fall of Thra came to pass.
