If the pilot was any indication, ABC’s new Muppets series will have lots of celebrity cameos.
Now more proof has arrived thanks to Liam Hemsworth’s just-launched Instagram. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 actor announced through the photo sharing app that he’ll be appearing in The Muppets when it premieres this fall on ABC.
His Instagram photo — the first the actor has ever posted — suggests that he’ll be cozying up with Miss Piggy. He describes the iconic pig as the “most beautiful girl in the world,” with apologies to Kermit the Frog:

Liam doesn’t need to apologize to Kermit. The frog and the pig announced their separation earlier this month. Miss Piggy is single and ready to mingle with Hollywood’s hottest stars!
If you can’t wait for The Muppets to premiere, you’re in luck: The show’s “first look presentation” (a pilot of sorts) was released by ABC in July. The network said that it was shot for executives so they could get a sense of the series, so this particular “episode” may not make it to air. Nonetheless, the 10-minute “pilot” is worth watching thanks to lots of great Muppets humor and a boatload of cameos.
The Muppets premieres September 22 on ABC. The network describes the comedy series as a “contemporary, documentary-style show that, for the first time ever, will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages.”
