The Jim Henson Company announced in 2005 that they were working on an animated TV show based on The Dark Crystal. The show was to be geared for the Cartoon Network's "Toonami" anime block, and designed as a 2D animated follow-up and promotional tie-in to Power of the Dark Crystal. The show's look and feel was announced as being designed by David Slack, who did the same for Cartoon Network's popular Teen Titans series.
