Apple to Reboot Fraggle Rock

Apple has entered into a new partnership with The Jim Henson Company to reboot the classic series Fraggle Rock.

The new Fraggle Rock series will be reimagined as a global Apple original for Apple TV+. Produced by The Jim Henson Company in association with New Regency, the series will reunite the original stars—Gobo, Red, Boober, Mokey, Wembley and Uncle Travelling Matt—for new songs and adventures. This new series follows on the recent debut of the Apple TV+ shorts Fraggle Rock: Rock On!

Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford will executive produce the new Fraggle Rock for The Jim Henson Company. Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer of New Regency and long-time Henson collaborator John Tartaglia (Splash and Bubbles, Johnny and the Sprites) are also executive producing. Showrunners Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson (New Girl, American Dad, Community) are attached to executive produce and write. Rita Peruggi (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Yo Gabba Gabba!) will produce. Dave Goelz (“Boober,” “Uncle Travelling Matt”) and Karen Prell (“Red”) are also attached to the project. Harvey Mason Jr. is the executive music producer for the series.
