This pilot was not meant to be seen by the public, but after the response it received at Comic-Con 2015, it was posted to YouTube.
Some of the material contained in this Pitch Pilot was re-used in episode 1.
Walter, a Muppet who was introduced in The Muppets (2011) and featured prominently in its sequel, Muppets Most Wanted (2014), appears briefly in this pilot but does not appear at all in the series proper.
Chip, the IT guy, struggles to remember what Muppet production he originated in, hypothesizing that he was from one of the holiday specials. He is actually from MuppeTelevision (1987).
For this presentation pilot, Denise, Kermit's new girlfriend, was repurposed from the Spamela Hamderson puppet created for Muppets Tonight (1996). For the series proper, a dedicated Denise puppet was created.
