The Muppets get additional episodes ordered for ABC
According to ABC Networks, The Muppets is the highest rated new series for the coveted 18-49 category, so it makes perfect sense that the network would order three more episodes tacked on for the show’s first season. Here’s what Deadline.com had to say:
Season to date, The Muppets still ranks as Tuesday’s highest-rated new TV show among Adults 18-49 (2.6). On average, the freshman show is improving its half-hour for ABC by 69% in Total Viewers (7.6 million) and by 86% in Adults 18-49 (2.6), standing as the net’s strongest performing Tuesday comedy in 4 years. In its most recent airing this week, The Muppetsreturned against the World Series with an uptick in Adults 18-49 (+8%).
The real key could be the ratings and as mentioned the show is doing well so, it bodes well for the series being picked up for a second season by the network. That’s a good thing.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
