Apple TV+ TODAY REVEALED the trailer for the highly anticipated "Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock" Night of the Lights holiday special, premiering globally Friday, November 18.

Jim Henson's fun-loving and musical Fraggles - Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and new Fraggle friends - have returned for all new adventures about the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world.

It's the Night of the Lights, the most Fraggily holiday of the year, and the Rock is filled with songs and cheer. When Jamdolin (voiced by Emmy Award nominee Daveed Diggs, "Hamilton") encourages Wembley to make a special wish, the Fraggles head out on an adventure to find the brightest light and, maybe, the true meaning of the holiday.
