'The Muppets': Miss Piggy Moves on... With Nathan Fillion

Kermit the Frog may have a new pig in his life, but his former paramour, Miss Piggy, isn’t drowning her sorrows in ice cream. Kermit’s ex seems to be rebounding nicely with none other than Nathan Fillion. The attraction started in an earlier promo for ABC’s new fall series The Muppets, when Piggy openly ogled the Castle star’s gluteus maximus. (There’s a reason why his Firefly nickname was “Captain Tight Pants.”) Now, in this just-released promo, Kermit catches Fillion stepping out of Piggy’s trailer, looking more than a little disheveled. “Morning,” the actor sheepishly says, as he does the walk of shame past the flummoxed frog. Now that they’re on the same network, maybe Kermit can enlist Stana Katic to act as an on-set spy for this developing pork-mance.

Based on the promo, the rest of the Muppet gang seems to be getting cozy (though not as cozy as Piggy) with their new channelmates as well. Gonzo can be glimpsed getting a crash course in power tools with Scandal stars Guillermo Diaz and Katie Lowes, while Fozzie seizes the opportunity to crack up The Middle’s Patricia Heaton. Meanwhile, we’re placing bets on the next big behind-the-scenes romance. How about the Swedish Chef and The Chew’s Daphne Oz?

The Muppets premieres Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
