Trivia / Labyrinth: Coronation

Go To

  • Development Hell: Announced in early 2012, initially pushed back to April 2013, then delayed indefinitely. The official explanation was that they didn't want it to go out until it was perfect, and considering that it's a backstory for Jareth — the most popular character in the fandom — one can understand the hesitancy, especially given the Broken Base caused by the last attempt at an Expanded Universe with Return to Labyrinth. (Archaia threw bones to the fandom in the meantime with stories about other characters, included in their Free Comic Book Day collections from 2012 onward.) It finally got released in 2018-19.
  • Refitted for Sequel: Septimus was one of the characters created by Brian Froud in the Concept Art of the movie, but never made it into the final version. The sinister brute was placed into this prequel series instead.
  • What Could Have Been: Before it went into Development Hell, the synopsis originally announced for the Archaia Entertainment Labyrinth graphic novel prequel that eventually became Labyrinth: Coronation said it would be about Jareth as a young man attempting to rescue his true love from the malevolent Goblin Queen and ultimately failing and/or being trapped in some way into becoming the new Goblin King.
