Bad news, for those waiting for updates on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance season 2.
The children's TV show has now been cancelled by Netflix after just one season, meaning we won't be able to return to the world of Thra any time soon.
The show's executive producer Lisa Henson, whose also CEO of the Jim Henson Company, told i09: "We can confirm that there will not be an additional season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
"We know fans are eager to learn how this chapter of 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.

"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," Lisa added.
