## Synopsis

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (2022-present) is an American children's puppet fantasy series created for Apple TV by The Jim Henson Company as a revival of the classic Henson show. It follows the Fraggles, a community of furry, curious creatures living in an underground world, with Gobo Fraggle and Red Fraggle leading the way, joined by Boober, Wembley and Mokey. Lilli Cooper plays Doc, a human character who connects the Fraggles to the wider world above. The engine of each episode is simple and playful: a small curiosity or problem sends the characters out past familiar tunnels, where they meet new friends and learn about the natural world. Stories are self-contained case-of-the-week adventures across two seasons, with music, silly humor and bright set pieces. Its tone is warm, cozy and hopeful, with an emphasis on celebrating and caring for an interconnected world. Fans of Sesame Street, the original Fraggle Rock and Bluey will find resonance in its gentle humor, handmade puppet craft and sincere optimism for young viewers.
