Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the rest of the gang have been brightening up our lives for over 40 years, ever since they first showcased their madcap, mischievous antics and infectious exuberance in their debut TV series, The Muppet Show, back in 1976.
Since then, they have graced the silver screen in an array of blockbuster movies and now, four years after their last TV show, they are let loose in their first-ever unscripted series Muppets Now.
The six-part magazine-style show streams weekly on Disney+ and sees put-upon gofer Scooter desperately trying to deliver the episodes on time as the other Muppets ‘helpfully’ chip in with unwelcome ideas for the series and demands for alterations.
