THE STORYTELLER, created by Jim Henson in 1987, is based on a treatment written by his eldest daughter, Lisa Henson, inspired by her university studies in folklore and mythology. This Emmy® and BAFTA-winning series has enchanted audiences around the globe, with episodes written by Oscar®-winner Anthony Minghella.
The series features acclaimed actors and original creatures from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, bringing classic folk tales, fables, and legends to life with sophistication and authenticity.
