According to the official synopsis, Season 2 will show your favorite characters “move through challenges together with hope, silliness, and brand-new songs, all while dancing their cares away…down at Fraggle Rock … Fraggle Rock: Back to The Rock is produced by Chris Plourde (Muppets Tonight) and co-produced by Tim O’Brien (Paddington 2). The new season will feature 13 episodes and is set to include brand-new songs produced by Harvey Mason Jr. In addition to the Fraggle Rock franchise, the partnership between Apple TV+ and The Jim Henson Company also includes Harriet The Spy, along with the first-ever animated adaptation of the children’s novel Slumberkins and Fraggle Rock: Rock On! shorts.

Fraggle Rock, like all the wonderful properties from The Jim Henson Company, is that perfect mix of cute, warm, thoughtfully intelligent and educationally humanistic that makes you want to spend as much time with any and all the Muppets as you can.
The fact that Fraggle Rock, which originally ran from 1983 to 1987 in its original release, is back in the form of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is a thrillingly happy joy, a shot of sunshine in a bleak world that speaks to the power of learning, of community and of the sheer supportive joy of belonging.
Watching the show is the ultimate mood lifter, full of all the quirk, sweetness and cleverness you could want, a perfect counterbalance to life’s lesser lovely qualities that reminds us, and how we need it, that there is some good in, and under, the world.
Back to the Rock we go!
Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock releases on AppleTV+ on 29 March.
