OlderDisney+ Announces New Original Muppets Series 'Muppets Now'
The Muppets are coming to Disney+ with a brand new, original series!
The lovable puppets will star in the The Muppets Studio’s first original series for the streaming service, Muppets Now, premiering on July 31st.
In the six-episode season, Scooter rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he’ll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him.
Overflowing with spontaneous lunacy, surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed, the Muppets cut loose in “Muppets Now” with the kind of startling silliness and heartfelt fun that first made them famous.
The announcement is part of the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+’s National Streaming Day (May 20) celebration, and the Muppets even shared their own key art photos. Click inside to see the different versions!

Who chose these distinctly un-groovy options for #MuppetsNow key art? Let's go with something way more far out… and with way more Animal! pic.twitter.com/d57NES7vbV

Dios mio, you gotta be kidding me! No Pepé in any of this #MuppetsNow key art?? Unbelievable, okay! Lucky for you, I've mastered Photoshop after watching one video on YouTubes. See for yourself… pic.twitter.com/WM9sSn4RFz

Good grief. Sorry about this, @DisneyPlus. Don't worry, we love the #MuppetsNow key art! Though, if you're looking for my suggestion, I was always partial to this one… I cleaned my banjo right before the photo was taken. pic.twitter.com/xZBlqDb777
