Well, now we know what happened to that other Disney+ Muppets show

Just a few weeks back, there were not one, but two new series featuring the Muppets in the works at Disney+—a development that was somewhat confusing. In addition to a scripted series produced and written by Frozen’s Josh Gad (he’s the snowman guy), which we first heard about back in 2018, the streaming platform had ordered an unscripted, short-form series called Muppets Now. That series, described as a variety show in the vein of the classic The Muppet Show, is still moving forward and is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2020. But what of this other Muppets series, produced by Frozen snowman guy? Deadline has officially revealed its fate: It’s dead, y’all. More specifically, the cause of death is listed as a “discrepancy between the writing team’s creative vision and that of the top brass at Disney-owned Muppet Studio.” Just some good old fashioned creative differences, is all.
