Despite an attempt to turn things around with a new showrunner in the middle of the first season, The Muppets hasn’t really caught on with audiences the way ABC had hoped. What once seemed like a surefire hit (it’s the Muppets!) turned into a bizarre experiment (it’s a meta-fake-documentary series!) before ultimately becoming an interesting failure (shrug emoji), at best. The short version: ABC has cancelled The Muppets after just one season.

Even as the pool of network pilots make smaller and smaller splashed each year, one wouldn’t expect The Muppets to be one-and-done. As such, ABC has officially granted a full-season order to the mockumentary take on our beloved felt classics, though a full season in this case has a slightly altered meaning.

The sudden development and greenlight of ABC’s upcoming Muppets series left it vaguely unclear how the gang would function in a regular mockumentary format, but Kermit and Miss Piggy dropped by TCA to offer a clue.
