Jim Henson’s epic story is returning to screens in just a couple of months, with Netflix‘s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance prequel series set to arrive in August. The 10 hour-long episodes will help set the stage for the world and events of 1982’s Dark Crystal film, and Netflix has employed a truly stellar cast to bring the series to life. Taron Egerton, Mark Hamill, Anya-Taylor Joy, Nathalie Emmanuel, Andy Samberg, and many others were announced as a part of the cast earlier this year. On Wednesday, that cast got even bigger, and somehow more impressive.
