'Labyrinth' Is Officially Getting A Sequel

Over 30 years on from Jim Henson's original, the film is set to be a very welcome arrival for Labyrinth fans.

Although details of the sequel - such as plot and cast - are yet to be announced, we're expecting it to be as wild and wonderful as the first - and fans are already excited.

If you need a recap, the 1986 original movie starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. The musical fantasy film follows 16-year-old Sarah (played by Jennifer) as she tries to reach a gigantic maze to rescue her baby brother, Toby.

Sarah had secretly wished Toby away after getting fed up of his crying, and feeling guilty, she sets out to find him after he was kidnapped by goblins.

Jareth, the Goblin King (played by David Bowie) tells Sarah she has just 13 hours to complete the labyrinth before her baby brother is turned into a goblin forever. Of course, the rescue mission is easier said than done and she ends up in a whirlwind adventure filled with peculiar creatures.

During her journey, she meets a beast called Ludo and a goblin named Hoggle, who end up helping her on her quest. They are confronted with riddles and challenges, but once Sarah makes it into the castle, she confronts Jareth and does everything she can to save her beloved Toby.

The film has retained its cult status over all these years, with spin-offs including novels, comic books and video games launching over the last three decades.

Fans have been getting excited over on Twitter, with one tweeting: "Omg a Labyrinth Sequel?! My childhood is coming back!!!"

While another said: "As an avid fan of Labyrinth all my life I am more than excited that they're going to be making a sequel!! The Netflix series of Dark Crystal was AMAZING."

Others, however, are concerned about how the sequel would work without David Bowie, who sadly passed away in 2016.
