The Dark Crystal: Garthim War

The Dark Crystal: The Garthim War is the upcoming second installment of a series of Dark Crystal miniseries that began with'' The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. ''It is to premiere on Netflix on September 24, 2021 (Jim Henson's 85th birthday). The voice actors for the surviving characters from Age of Resistance reprise their roles, as well as several new additions. Mark Strong, the voice of Ordon from Age of Resistance, voices the unnamed Gelfling prophet who longs for a return to peace on Thra, and thus foresees the healing of the Crystal "by Gelfling hand, or else by none."

In this series, taking place after Age of Resistance, the other surviving Gelfling learn from Rian and Brea the Skeksis' past as one half of the UrSkeks with the Mystics, and decide to write a prophecy, foretelling of a Gelfling healing the Dark Crystal and restoring peace and balance to Thra. Unfortunately, the Skeksis discover this new prophecy, and, at the orders of their Emperor, send out the Scientist's latest creation, the Garthim, to exterminate every last Gelfling on Thra, to prevent the prophecy from ever being fulfilled. Meanwhile, Rian tries to help Deet, who had been corrupted by the Darkening, before she falls completely to the dark side.
