After finding new life in a two movies, The Muppets are heading back to the place they were born, with a new TV show that will be a sitcom that mixes Kermit & co’s. home life with their work life, in a documentary style that’s a little like Modern Family or The Office.
The show got picked up by ABC in the US after they saw a 10-minute presentation that showed off this slightly more adult-oriented take on the characters. The pitch got plenty of buzz, but it wasn’t originally meant to be seen by the public.
That’s now changed as it’s been released on the internet and you can watch it below. And nicely even though it’s just a pitch, it features the sort of celebrity cameos you’d expect from The Muppets, with the likes of Elizabeth Banks and Topher Grace showing up.
