Plot Synopsis
This all-new CG-animated MUPPET BABIES is geared towards kids 2-7 and their families, with each episode featuring two 11-minute stories. While spotlighting the zany comedy that the Muppet Babies are known for, each story is also designed to introduce young viewers to the unique problem-solving power of imagination. Whether it's Kermit helping a dragon get over her fear of the dark or the Muppet Babies learning the importance of fair play during a rainy day board game, the series imparts lessons along the way that are relatable to kids and their families. Just like young viewers at home, each Muppet in the playroom has a unique personality and perspective that contributes to their friendly dynamic. Kermit is the leader and the voice of reason for the group; Piggy is the super fabulous tough-as-nails adventurer; Fozzie is the big-hearted comedian; Gonzo is the stunt-crazed daredevil; and Animal is the wild one who marches to the beat of his own drum. Rounding out the ensemble is the new Muppet Baby, Summer, an artistic and creative penguin who loves to paint, draw, sing and dance. With the addition of Summer, the group adds another strong female character to the playroom who serves as a perfect foil to her new BFF, Piggy. Though Summer is the smallest of the Muppet Babies, she's got a big heart and is always there to share good times with her new friends or listen when they're feeling down. Originally hailing from Antarctica, her life and experiences differ from the other Muppet Babies, which offers the series a chance to explore how young kids build relationships with new friends from different places and backgrounds. Set in the vibrant playroom of an urban brownstone with an expansive backyard, the Muppet Babies have everything they need at their fingertips to lead them on their fantastical adventures. The backyard alone is home to Kermit's bouncy "pond," Piggy's dressing room, Summer's art table, Gonzo's chicken coop, Fozzie's stage and a communal treehouse. In every episode, through a rainbow transition, the Muppet Babies use their imaginations to transport them into a fantasy sequence, each with a distinct style ranging from collage, comic book and classic cartoons to live-action footage. Guest muppets includes: Statler and Waldorf; Dr. Bunsen Honeydew; Beaker; Rowlf the Dog; Rizzo; and Dr. Teeth.
The second season of MUPPET BABIES premiered on Friday, August 9, 2019 at 8:30am ET/PT on Disney Channel. The second season will see even more beloved Muppets -- including brother and sister duo Scooter and Skeeter, Sweetums, and Swedish Chef, to name a few -- make their way to the playroom for all-new adventures. Other special guest appearances include Rizzo the Rat's popstar brother, Vinny, and Mr. Manny, who comes to fill in for Miss Nanny when she goes out for the day.

Season 3 of MUPPET BABIES debuted on Monday, January 4, 2021 at 5pm ET/PT on Disney Jr. The new season introduces a new Muppet named Rozzie, the newly adopted sister of Fozzie Bear. In the Season 3 opener, "Oh Brother; Fozzie's Boo Boo Patrol," Fozzie shares the news that his family is adopting a little sister, and he's worried that he doesn't have what it takes to be a big brother. Fozzie's "Muppet Babies" friends use their imaginations to enroll him into "Rizzo's Big Bruddah School."
