According to the report of the renewal, season 2 will feature “big changes affecting the Rock, the Fraggles, Doozers, and Gorgs, (which) will force them to confront their past and celebrate their interdependence, as they move through challenges together with hope, silliness, and brand new songs, all while dancing their cares away…down at Fraggle Rock.”
