New Muppets Series Announced for Disney+
The Muppets are getting an unscripted short-form series on Disney+ called Muppets Now.
None other than Kermit the Frog himself made the announcement at the Disney+ presentation at D23 Expo on Friday.
“The Muppets are creating some incredible new shorts.” Kermit said. “They’re gonna be wild and funny and feature some new friends like…" Which is when Joe from Legal appeared onstage.
Kermit then joked that Joe from Legal says no news about celebrity guests, since this is a teaser. “Seriously, that would make this a sneak peek, and you’re not authorized to offer a peek, sneak or otherwise.”
Kermit and Joe from Legal argued onstage about what Kermit is allowed to say, in order to make this preview a teaser and not a behind-the-scenes look or a featurette.

Spider-Man 3 Still Happening Despite Sony/Disney Split
Sony and Marvel may have parted ways, but that's apparently not stopping progress on a sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home. Deadline reports (via CBR) that Far From Home writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are still working on the screenplay for a third solo Spider-Man movie featuring Tom Holland's Peter Parker.
But while the writers and star of the previous two Spider-Man movies seem to still be on board, director Jon Watts is another matter entirely. According to Deadline, Watts has no current deal in place and is being courted by both Marvel Studios and Sony following the two studios' breakdown in negotiations this week. Should Watts elect to keep working with producer Kevin Feige and stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony will have to find a new director to continue this Spider-Man series.
