I saw this yesterday at imdb.com in their news section:

A new primetime television series featuring the Muppets is currently in early production in England, and the producers have lined up some big-name stars, including
Jennifer Lopez and
Ricky Gervais, star of the original British version of
The Office, the London
Times, reported today (Thursday). The original
Muppet Show, which aired during the '70s and '80s and became one of the most profitable syndicated TV series in history, was also produced in England, as were many of the feature films starring the Jim Henson characters. Now owned by Disney, the Muppets Holding Company is also planning new forays into television (upcoming: an ABC special on May 20,
The Muppets' Wizard of Oz) music, stage shows, theme parks, and the Internet. The
Times noted that even mobile-phone wallpaper, ring tones, and mobile video clips will be coming within a few months
