Future of the Labyrinth

Future of the Labyrinth is an American fantasy television series produced by Sony Pictures Television and The Jim Henson Company. It serves as a twelve-episode sequel series to the 1986 Jim Henson film Labyrinth, that further explores the world of the Labyrinth created for the original film.

The show follows Toby Williams, now grown up 30 years after his kidnapping by Jareth the Goblin King and his subjects, as he is mysteriously called back to the Labyrinth to stop a new threat to its peaceful existence: Judid, Jareth's estranged daughter and heir to his throne, hatches a plot to ascend to the Goblin King's throne and release a poisonous gas which will kill all forms of life in the Labyrinth. Together with Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus and Ambrosius, Toby must stop the "Goblin Princess" and save the Labyrinth while also overcoming his sexual attraction to her, like his big sister, Sarah, before him.

The series aired on HBO on August 10, 2021 to critical acclaim, especially praising the faithfulness to the original film, and honoring Jim Henson's legacy in a touching and humorous way. Unlike the original film, which was filmed at Elstree Studios in England, Future was taped partially at Sony Pictures Studios at Culver City, California.
