Details about the premise are being kept under wraps, but I hear the show would be set behind the scenes of a late-night talk show, with most signature Muppets, led by Kermit the Frog, on tap. Prady and Kushell executive produce, with Kushell serving as showrunner as Prady has his gig on Big Bang. Disney-owned The Muppet Studios (Disney bought rights to the Muppets characters in 2004) is co-producing with ABC Studios. <a target="blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://deadline.com/2015/04/muppets-series-abc-big-bang-co-creator-bill-prady-bob-kushell-presentation-1201403972/">http://deadline.com/2015/04/mu...1403972/</a>
