Muppets Live Another Day

Muppets Live Another Day was a proposed Muppet series planned for the Disney+ streaming service which was first announced in early 2019.
In February, a website called "Splash Report" published an item about the series, which was being developed by Josh Gad and the writing team of Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis (creators of the ABC series Once Upon a Time). The setting would immediately follow the events of The Muppets Take Manhattan and the plot would have entailed Kermit the Frog reuniting with the Muppets after the mysterious disappearance of Rowlf the Dog.splashreport.com "The Muppets Project for Disney+" by Jean-François Allaire, Feb 7, 2019Deadline "The Muppets Comedy Series Reboot Not Going Forward At Disney+" by Nellie Andreeva, September 9, 2019
In September, Deadline reported that Muppets Live Another Day would not be moving forward due to differences between "the writing team's creative vision and that of the top brass at Disney-owned Muppets Studio." The Hollywood Reporter also cited a recent change in executives within Muppets Studio as a factor. Former vice president Debbie McClellan is noted to have worked directly with Kitsis and Horowitz on the project. With McClellan's departure in May, she was replaced by David Lightbody, who offered the team to take the project in a new direction, but the team declined to start over again after months of work and departed instead.The Hollywood Reporter "'The Muppets' Disney+ Comedy Series Scrapped" by Lesley Goldberg, September 9, 2019
