The show features a society of cave-dwelling Muppets called Fraggles who live in Fraggle Rock alongside the ant-like Doozers and furry giant Gorgs. “The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations,” Gordon-Levitt said in a statement. “Collaborating with Lisa Henson makes me confident we can do something that Jim would have loved.” Gordon-Levitt’s addition will set the New Regency, Henson Co. and Lisa Henson project, which has been in development since 2005, into motion. Gordon-Levitt will also appear in an untitled Christmas comedy with Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie, and [star as Edward Snowden](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/03/first-look-joseph-gordon-levitt-edward-snowden "undefined") in the Oliver Stone thriller _Snowden_, out Christmas Day. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/19/joseph-gordon-levitt-produce-and-star-fraggle-rock "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3751913/joseph-gordon-levitt-fraggle-rock/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3751913/joseph-gordon-levitt-fraggle-rock/"},"headline":"Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Produce and Star in Fraggle Rock","datePublished":"2015-03-19T22:38:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:18:34.646Z","description":"“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations”","url":"https://time.com/3751913/joseph-gordon-levitt-fraggle-rock/","keywords":["movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt63dc5f9717d2acd0/6987847ba988ca85a36ad03e/joseph-gordon-levitt.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dana Rose Falcone / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt63dc5f9717d2acd0/6987847ba988ca85a36ad03e/joseph-gordon-levitt.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Joseph Gordon Levitt at Skylight Books on Dec. 3, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.","caption":"Joseph Gordon Levitt at Skylight Books on Dec. 3, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.","creditText":"Vincent Sandoval—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3751913/joseph-gordon-levitt-fraggle-rock/","name":"Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Produce and Star in Fraggle Rock"}}]}] ```
