Emmy-winning series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has not been renewed for a second season by Netflix, it has emerged this week.

The first season, which was based on Jim Henson's puppets, was released in August 2019 and ended on a cliffhanger. Since then, however, fans have been waiting for more than a year, and increasingly they've been expecting bad news. Now they have it.

Netflix was "thankful to the executive producers Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford, and Louis Leterrier, who also directed all episodes, as well as the writers, cast and crew for their outstanding work and thrilled they were recognised with the Emmy this weekend," read a statement published by io9.

Henson, who is now working with Guillermo del Toro in Pinocchio, was also "grateful to Netflix for trusting us to realise this ambitious series."

However, he also said that this is not the end for the world of Thra and hinted that fans won't be left hanging on the side of a cliff forever:

"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."

The Dark Crystal universe expands beyond the film and the series. There are also books, graphic novels as well a videogame inspired by the show, Dark Crystals: Age of Resistance - Tactics, developed by BonusXP and En Masse Entertainment (it's not great, though).
