Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Netflix will cancel or renew The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance for season two. Netflix likes to give its shows time to catch on, but they no longer prolong the inevitable and avoid cancellation. These days, a series is lucky to get past season three. The good news is, they usually make their decision to renew within a month or so, and if they do pick it up, we should hear within a couple of months of the series premiere. Until we know more, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and press releases and update this page with breaking developments.
