The Muppets' YouTube channel has been putting up a lot of new videos in the past few months.
https://www.youtube.com/user/MuppetsStudio/videos

I'm glad to see that they're still being used on a semi-regular basis. (Plus WDW has their Liberty Square show.)

I want more, though-- I hope they post more Pigs in Space videos.

The Muppets Promise a “Big Surprise” in 2019, But What Could It Be?

[Sotiris]

It's probably their new TV show for Disney+.

[blackcauldron85]

^I had meant to write something besides the link...I can imagine they'd do more stage shows- I think they get good reviews and seem to be loads of fun. Besides a TV show on Disney+, do you think the future (fingers crossed there are more) will debut on Disney+?

[Sotiris]

Yeah, if they make more Muppet movies, they will undoubtedly be for Disney+. The last Muppets film didn't perform very well in theaters, so I don't see them ever getting another theatrical release. With Disney having so many franchises and brands to accommodate nowadays, theatrical releases will be reserved for their tentpoles while smaller films will be relegated to their streaming service.

5 Facts About The Muppets

[blackcauldron85]

^ At the start, I was doubtful I'd learn much, but I did! I knew about original Kermit (I'm disappointed that they didn't mention original Rowlf, since he came first), but I learned stuff! Wow @ Tim Burton being a Muppet performer!!

Disney's Muppets Problem: Can the Franchise Reckon With Its Boys' Club Culture?

I'm still reading the article and I have to go back to work, but so far it's an interesting read.

[Atlantica]

Wow, that is an absolutely fascinating article, thank you for sharing

Who knew the world underneath the Muppets was so murky ? Certainly and interesting read, and also explains a lot with regards to being picked up and dropped by Disney back and forth.

Miss Piggy was the special celebrity guest on the season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars Season 6 which premiered today on Paramount+. She judged the episode’s Reading mini challenge with RuPaul and made a few smaller appearances throughout the episode. I have been wanting to see Miss Piggy on Drag Race for awhile now so I was very glad she showed up!
