7 Years Ago, Netflix Officially Cancelled One of Its Best Prequel Series

For a service that seemingly built its brand on catering to what audiences proved they wanted, Netflix has a surprising number of fan-favorite skeletons in its closet. When looking at their mass grave, the one that hurts the most was their burying of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the prequel show to Jim Henson's cult classic film, The Dark Crystal. It was a visually sprawling yet narratively tight epic that made the world of Thra feel more alive than ever before and could have been Netflix's version of a Game of Thrones-type franchise, were it not for the harsh realities of getting the show made.
