First trailer for ‘Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock’ Brings The Classic Characters Back to Life
The series marks the third collaboration between Apple TV and The Jim Henson Company, after ‘Harriet the Spy’ and ‘Fraggle Rock: Rock On!’
The first trailer for Apple TV+’s hotly-anticipated Fraggle Rock reboot, titled ‘Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock’ has premiered, in preparation for the series’ January 21st release date, in which all episodes will be made available for consumers on Apple’s streaming service. This is the second Fraggle Rock series Apple has produced, with ‘Fraggle Rock: Rock On!’ being the first.
Jim Henson’s fun-loving and musical Fraggles - Gobo, Red, Boober, Mokey, Wembley, Uncle Travelling Matt - alongside new Fraggles and Doozers voiced by special guest stars Patti LaBelle, Cynthia Erivo, Daveed Diggs, Ed Helms, Kenan Thompson, as well as an appearance by Foo Fighters - kick off the new year by embarking on epic, hilarious adventures about the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world. Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is executive produced by The Jim Henson Company’s Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford, and longtime Henson collaborator John Tartaglia. Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson, who serve as showrunners, also executive produce, alongside New Regency’s Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer. Co-executive producers are Dave Goelz and Karen Prell, who return to Fraggle Rock after almost four decades. Goelz and Prell are two of the veteran ‘muppeteers’ from the original run of the Fraggles in 1983.
Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock marks the third collaboration with Apple and The Jim Henson Company, after ‘Harriet the Spy’ and the aforementioned ‘Fraggle Rock: Rock On!’, and joins a slew of family-friendly content available on the streaming service including ‘Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show’, ‘Wolfboy and the Everything Factory’ and the Award-winning film ‘Wolfwalkers.’ Apple TV+ is also the streaming destination for the original Fraggle Rock series, as well as recently added bonus specials, ‘Down at Fraggle Rock,’ ‘Doozer Music’ and ‘Fraggle Songs,’ all of which are now streaming.
