Moreover, they are destroying their world. This leads to a war between the two.

Let’s see if Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2 will air this year and the possible storyline that it will be based on.

About The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2

Season one of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance ended in a way that it did not leave much for the continuation of season two.

After a few months of hiatus, the creator, Jeffrey Addiss, confirmed that they have concrete substance for season two.

The co-creator Will Matthews also said that he was pretty much hopeful about continuing the series.

Since season one was too labor-intensive for everyone, season two will be no less and worth the effort in the end.

Hopefully, the cost of production will be cut with the already made costumes, puppets, and sets for season 1.

As a fact, about 2,500 hundred people worked on season one.

Season 2 Plot

Season one ended with seven Gelfling clans uniting to fight against the Skeksis.

Gelfling did win the battle of Stone in Wood. But, they have not won the war against the Skesis.

Moreover, the Scientist managed to create a monster called, the Garthim which is powered by the dark crystal.

The monster is the key tool to win the war over the Gelflings to steal their essence. Eventually, this leads to The Garthim War.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Season 2 Release Date

So, a massive amount of production work, budget, and workforce put in efforts for the first iteration of the show, leading to its release after 27 months of the announcement.

The same will follow for season 2 as well. The work is time-consuming and intricate.

Hopefully, we will get to see it by 2021. The possibility of release earlier than that is quite slim.

It does seem like a long wait for the fans.
