No Muppets projects.

Disney has no idea what to do with The Muppets.

Which countries have Hulu? Star? Star+? Here's a handy guide:

Hulu (separate service): USA, Japan.
Hotstar (within Disney+): India, Indonesia.
Star (within Disney+): Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland(?), France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland(?), Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK.
Star+ (separate service): Mexico, Central & South America.

Kinda sucks to be Andorra, Belarus, Cyprus, Greece, Liechtenstein, Malta, Moldova, Russia, San Marino, Turkey, Ukraine, some of Oceania, most of Asia, or all of Africa.
