The new cast includes: Sigourney Weaver, Awkwafina, Benedict Wong, Lena Headey, Hannah John-Kamen, and Dave Goelz. As well as the casting announcements, we also have new character posters for each of them. See below.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance returns to the world of Thra with an all new adventure. When three Gelfling discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power, they set out on an epic journey to ignite the fires of rebellion and save their world.
Based on The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson’s ground-breaking 1982 feature film, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance tells a new epic story, set many years before the events of the movie, and realized using classic puppetry with cutting edge visual effects. The world of Thra is dying. The Crystal of Truth is at the heart of Thra, a source of untold power. But it is damaged, corrupted by the evil Skeksis, and a sickness spreads across the land. When three Gelfling uncover the horrific truth behind the power of the Skeksis, an adventure unfolds as the fires of rebellion are lit and an epic battle for the planet begins.
NB. Sigourney Weaver will play The Myth-Speaker, a voice character only, so no character poster. Here are the rest of the new announcements.
