It may be Monday, but you might just have to save your worries for another day… becauseFraggle Rockis back!
The original show’s creator, Jim Henson, once describedFraggle Rockas “a high-energy, raucous musical romp.” Despite its silliness and loud puppet characters, the hit children’s series, which aired for five seasons on HBO from 1983 to 1987, dealt with important issues like prejudice, spirituality and more.
The new show will see the music-loving Fraggle friends “on hilarious, epic adventures about the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world,” according to the streamer.
A new teaser recreates some iconic moments fromthe opening to the original series, including that unforgettable theme song.
The original intro sees Gobo running alone through the caves until he reaches an opening filled with his friends — and then kicks off the song in a chorus with all of them. In the new version, the five main characters are making their way through the cave together until Red turns around and sings, solo, “Dance your cares away!”
Safe to say you won’t be able to get that song out of your head no matter which adorable puppet is singing it.
The transportation system within the Fraggles' cave dwellings also got an upgrade. The Doozers have been busy!
No Fraggle theme song is complete without the grand finale: Boober getting in one last, “Down in Fraggle Rock.” In the new version, instead of just chilling out with some flowers, he’s in the middle of ironing.

No word on if the Gorgs, the man or the dog will return in the new show.
