Sky1 will be the UK home of the Muppets when their new documentary-style TV series begins this autumn.

The Muppets will take viewers behind the scenes to lift the lid on the ups and downs of the Muppets’ day-to-day lives as they prepare to reunite for a new TV series.

Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1 commented: “Get ready to see the Muppets like you’ve never seen them before – with no-holds-barred access as they prepare for their big reunion, The Muppets promises a candid look at what goes on before and after they start the music and light the lights!”

Dayna Donaldson, General Manager, Media Distribution, Disney UK and Ireland added: “The addition of The Muppets to Sky’s schedule builds on our long, successful relationship with the UK broadcaster.  We are delighted to bring the much-loved characters and universally cheeky storylines to Sky’s already powerful slate of Disney content…”

The Muppets starts on ABC in the US on 22 September.

The personal lives of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and co. will be explored as The Muppets uncovers what they really get up to at home and at work; the romances, the breakups, the achievements, the disappointments, the wants, the desires – and everything else in between.
