Save for the fine reboot movie and the intermittent good stuff in the recent ABC show, Disney has never really known what to do with The Muppets. Frank Oz said it’s because he thinks the company doesn’t understand the “true rebellion and true affection” that drives the characters, but either way, the mouse people are going to take another crack at it with a “shortform unscripted series” on the Disney+ streaming service. This comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which says the show will be about “startling silliness and heartfelt fun,” with the Muppets appearing alongside celebrity guests.
