A mockumentary that brings the Muppets into a contemporary, relationship-focused register, trading pure whimsy for character-driven comedy and romantic entanglement.

The Muppets return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show. For the first time ever, a series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires. This is a more adult Muppet show, for “kids” of all ages.
