Fraggles deal with dust storm in season 2 trailer for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock
Here’s how Apple TV+ describes the upcoming Back to the Rock season 2 teased in Monday’s trailer:
Jim Henson’s fun-loving and musical Fraggles — Gobo, Red, Boober, Mokey, Wembley and Uncle Travelling Matt, appearing alongside new Fraggles and Doozers voiced by special guest stars. [They include] Academy Award winner Ariana DeBose, Emmy Award winner Brett Goldstein, Emmy Award winner Catherine O’Hara, Tony and Grammy Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Daveed Diggs, Grammy nominee Adam Lambert and K-pop group aespa. [Fraggles are] back with more epic, fun and zany adventures, this time with big changes affecting the Rock.
The Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs will be forced to confront their past and celebrate their interdependence as they move through challenges together with hope, silliness and brand-new songs, all while dancing their cares away … down at Fraggle Rock.
Cult of Mac‘s highly opinionated critic had good things to say about season 1 of the show, calling a faithful reboot of a 1980s classic.
