The plot synopsis for the series is as follows:
"The beloved stars of the classic '80s series - Gobo, Red,
Boober, Mokey, Wembley and Uncle Traveling Matt - join
together again for new stories and classic Fraggle songs
that show everyone how we are all connected through
friendship. While the Fraggles might be in different
parts of the Fraggle Rock caves, they can still find
ways to have fun together, with music, silliness, special
guests, and of course the help of devices created by the
industrious Doozers - lovingly called the Doozertubes!"

The revival series will feature a collection of mini-episodes
that, according to Apple TV+'s press notes, were "shot on
iPhone 11 phones from the homes of the production team and
individual artists from all over the U.S." amidst global health
lockdowns. Rock On! is produced by The Jim Henson Company and
executive produced by Halle Stanford and John Tartaglia.

The original series, which premiered on HBO in 1983, featured a
world populated by a mix of human characters and Fraggle Rock
puppets. Initial plans for the movie had the core characters
Gogo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and Red leaving their home in
Fraggle Rock and interacting with humans.

The pilot episode for the series is currently available for
streaming on Apple TV+.
