The past two years have technically amounted to a win for fans of The Muppets, given that Muppets Haunted Mansion and The Muppets Mayhem were each inarguably a step above their small screen predecessors, 2020’s fun-if-limited variety show Muppets Now and 2017’s misguided broadcast effort The Muppets. Unfortunately, Disney+ didn’t deem Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem’s new album worthy of a second season, and killed our Season 2 hopes by canceling it ahead of Thanksgiving festivities. But before all those sour feelings could settle, Adam F. Goldberg swooped in and revealed he and co-creator Jeff Yorkes are currently “cooking up” another Muppets adventure.
Considering how early in the process things are, Goldberg obviously didn’t have any hard and fast details to share with Muppets fans to keep our heads above these smooshed-tomato-filled waters. (For what it’s worth, he did mention “Kermit & the gang” in a thankful tweet in the days following the dreaded cancellation.) But that just leaves the door open to start dreamily speculating about what characters the next series (or special) could be about.
