The Fraggles are back for the holidays. Apple TV released the trailer for Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift on Tuesday, Nov. 10, and the new special premieres worldwide on Friday, Dec. 4, Apple said.
The Lowdown
Jim Henson’s Fraggles have been one of the quiet success stories of the reboot era, and Apple keeps finding reasons to bring them back. This special pairs the original gang with two Broadway voices: Lilli Cooper returns as Doc, and Nicole Scherzinger drops in with a song of her own. If you grew up on the 1980s show, you get Wembley, Gobo, Red, Mokey and Boober in a holiday story. If you have kids, it is an easy December watch.
