BURBANK, Calif., May 8 (UPI) -- A new series starring The Muppets will air in primetime next season, ABC announced, at last officially confirming long-simmering media reports about the project.
"The Muppets return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show that, for the first time ever, will explore the Muppets' personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages," the network said in a news release Thursday.
