iflix, Southeast Asia’s leading Internet TV service, offering subscribers unlimited access to tens of thousands of hours of entertainment, is pleased to announce it has acquired exclusive, first run rights to The Muppets in Thailand and the Philippines. The first three episodes of the season are available for viewing only on iflix, with each succeeding episode added every Wednesday, the same day as its initial U.S. broadcast.
After a two-decade hiatus, The Muppets return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show. For the first time ever, the series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires. This is a more adult Muppet show, for “kids” of all ages.
The show stars The Muppets’ characters as staff members of Up Late With Miss Piggy, a talk show hosted by Miss Piggy, and Kermit serves as the show’s executive producer. Additional staffers include Scooter, Fozzie Bear and Gonzo. The Muppets TV show is jam-packed with all-star guest cameos, including appearances from Imagine Dragons, Laurence Fishbone, Jay Leno, Liam Hemsworth, Kerry Washington, Elizabeth Banks, Topher Grace and many more.
