Creators Adam Horowitz, Eddy Kitsis and Josh Gad have quit the planned scripted series over creative differences amid an executive change at the Muppets Studios.
which they had been quietly at work on for months, and Disney+ has opted to abandon work on the series.
Sources say the creative differences arose after producers Muppets Studios recently changed executives. Kitsis, Horowitz and Gad had been prepping what they playfully referred to as Muppets Take Manhattan. Kitsis and Horowitz had been working directly with Muppets Studios vp Debbie McClellan on the project.
However, McClellan recently departed and Disney CEO Bob Iger tapped Disney Parks Live Entertainment senior vp David Lightbody to take over Muppets Studios. Lightbody, sources say, wanted to do his own take onwhile Kitsis, Horowitz and Gad felt strongly about their vision for the show. Lightbody is said to have offered the trio the opportunity to move forward within a new way, but they opted to walk away from the show entirely rather than throw away months of work and a concept they believed in.
