Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media became part of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products in a March 2018 company reorganization. That same month, a reboot of the 1980s "Muppet Babies" series debuted on Disney Junior. A relaunch of the Muppets franchise was planned as of February 2018 for the then-unnamed Disney streaming service scheduled to be launched in 2019. Soon two series were under development for the Disney+ streaming service, the unscripted short-form series "Muppets Now", and the scripted comedy "Muppets Live Another Day". "Live Another Day" was from Adam Horowitz, Eddy Kitsis, and Josh Gad, and was planned as eight-episode series which would depict events taking place after "Muppets Take Manhattan". The series was at ABC Signature Studios with a pilot order when Muppets Studios vice president Debbie McClellan departed and her replacement, Disney Parks Live Entertainment senior vice president David Lightbody, wanted a different take to the project. Unwilling to drop months of work and their concept, the creative trio dropped the project. "Muppets Now" continued development and premiered on the streaming service on July 31, 2020.
