Social media accounts for various Muppet characters replied to Disney's tweet with their own key art for the show.

"Good grief. Sorry about this, @DisneyPlus. Don't worry, we love the #MuppetsNow key art! Though, if you're looking for my suggestion, I was always partial to this one...I cleaned my banjo right before the photo was taken," Kermit said next to a new poster featuring himself in front with Miss Piggy.

Muppets Now will follow Scooter as he rushes to make the Muppets' new streaming series a reality and deliver it on time. The six-episode limited series will also feature guest stars.
