Plot Synopsis

MUPPETS NOW is a six-episode unscripted series that centers on Scooter, who rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he'll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him -- including surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed.
