Just as it was starting to seem that 2020 was setting its coordinates for "couldn't possibly get any worse," Disney+ is doing its best to point things in a sunnier direction. The streaming service has unveiled a new trailer for Muppets Now, an "unscripted" TV series featuring everyone's favorite puppet performers and a supporting crew of celebrity pals.

　　In the trailer--which you can see below--the Muppets are joined by numerous celebrities from RuPaul to Seth Rogan and more. Check it out.

　　Premiering July 31 on Disney+, all that's known for sure about the six-episode series beyond what's teased at in the above trailer (as the featured litigious otter warns, "No details about celebrity guests or content may be proffered at this juncture.") so far comes from the official synopsis.

　　"Muppets Now is The Muppets Studio’s first unscripted series and first original series for Disney+, reads a recent press release. "In the six-episode season, Scooter rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he'll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him. Overflowing with spontaneous lunacy, surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed, the Muppets cut loose in Muppets Now with the kind of startling silliness and chaotic fun that made them famous. From zany experiments with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to lifestyle tips from the fabulous Miss Piggy, each episode is packed with hilarious segments, hosted by the Muppets showcasing what the Muppets do best."

　　Disney has released a series of four images--none of which feature any of the celebrity pals usually associated with the series. However, in the above trailer, teasing glances of Aubrey Plaza, RuPaul, Seth Rogen, and a handful of others can be spotted.
