About Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock TV Series
- The original Fraggle Rock TV series referred to the puppet characters as “Jim Henson’s Muppets,” but after The Jim Henson Company sold the Muppet franchise to The Walt Disney Company in 2004, the Fraggle Rock characters were no longer referred to as Muppets.
- Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock was co-produced by Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Studios’s subsidiary New Regency, both owned by The Walt Disney Company after it acquired 21st Century Fox’s assets on March 20, 2019.
- On May 26, 2020, Apple TV+ announced a deal with The Jim Henson Company for a full reboot of Fraggle Rock, including half-hour episodes and exclusive streaming rights to the original series and specials.
- In January 2021, production officially began on the reboot, filmed at the Calgary Film Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and each episode features original songs, including reprises from the original series.
- Pre-production started in late 2020 with the working title Raphanis (derived from the Latin word for “radish”), and filming commenced on January 25, 2021, wrapping up in June.
- In November 2021, the title Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock and the premiere date of January 21, 2022, were revealed.
- Several original characters return, with new characters voiced by celebrity guests including Patti LaBelle, Cynthia Erivo, Daveed Diggs, Ed Helms, and Kenan Thompson. Foo Fighters also make a cameo in one episode.
