The new ABC series starring The Muppets might feature an unfamiliar format, but the show’s writers are sticking with one familiar Muppets tradition: celebrity guest spots. We already know about a handful of guests who will show up on The Muppets this fall and now one of them includes another Hunger Games star.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Liam Hemsworth has signed on to appear as a version of himself. It’s not clear how many episodes he will be in, but it would be surprising if it will be more than one.
Other guests already signed up for The Muppets’ first season include Reese Witherspoon, Elizabeth Banks and Imagine Dragons. Banks, who also stars in The Hunger Games, actually appears in the pitch reel put together by executive producers Bill Prady and Bob Kushell.
Hemsworth will next be seen on the big screen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 on Nov. 20. He also stars in next year’s Independence Day: Resurgence.
As for The Muppets, the new show debuts on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Hopefully, the writers will be able to figure out how to get Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy back together again.
