With the working title of “Faerie,” the series is described as a “modern Henson family adventure set in the magical world of Brian & Wendy Froud’s Faeries.”
The official series description states: “When the Faeries kidnap an unsuspecting father, his family must venture into the Faerie realm to rescue him. Through their journey, they will discover their inner strength and unique potential, challenging the expectations that the human world has put upon them. At its core, Faerie is a story of perseverance and the strength of a family’s love, filled with magic, adventure, and self-discovery at every age.”
It's family affair as Brian, Wendy, and their son, Toby will executive produce the project along with the Henson Company.
The Frouds have a long history with Henson. The couple met while working as designers on The Dark Crystal and went onto work on Labyrinth and the Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.
Wendy also worked on The Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, and fabricated the Yoda puppet for The Empire Strikes Back.
Brian’s other credits include the Henson series The Storyteller.
Outside of their screen work, Wendy’s other projects include illustrating the three books “A Midsummer Night’s Faerytale,” “The Winter Child,” and “The Faeries of Spring Cottage” by Terri Windling.
Brian first published the book “Faeries” in 1978 with Alan Lee and his concept art was featured in the companion book “The World of the Dark Crystal.”
His artwork serves as the basis for the “Faerielands” book series.
