Jim Henson’s fun-loving, musical Fraggles are back! Join Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and new Fraggle friends on hilarious, epic adventures about the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world.

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock" is executive produced by The Jim Henson Company's Lisa Henson and Halle Stanford, and longtime Henson collaborator John Tartaglia. Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson, who serve as showrunners, also executive produce as well as New Regency's Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer. Co-executive producers are Dave Goelz and Karen Prell, and executive music producer is Harvey Mason Jr. The series is produced by Ritamarie Peruggi.

In addition to “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock,” Apple’s growing partnership with The Jim Henson Company includes “Harriet The Spy,” the first animated adaptation of the iconic children’s novel premiering this Friday, November 19; the popular “Fraggle Rock: Rock On!” shorts; the 88 episodes of the original “Fraggle Rock” series and recently added bonus specials, “Down at Fraggle Rock,” “Doozer Music” and “Fraggle Songs,” all of which are now available to stream on Apple TV+.

First thought - this looks really good, but who is that new purple Fraggle and where is Mokey?

Ohhhh that is Mokey! eeek. Looks like they rebuilt her as an arm rod puppet instead of a live hand, made her all a one tone deeper purple, changed her outfit, her hair, and even her eye placement is different. It's a shame, because all that has made her almost unrecognizable.

Fraggle Rock: Rock On

It looks like the original Mokey was used for the Rock On shorts - but maybe it was failing and need a facelift? What make it baffling is the rest of the Fraggles look BETTER then they did for Rock On. Poor Mokey. I hope her personality comes though all her exterior changes.

We'll find out when Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock premieres January 21 on Apple TV+.
