I can't see any of the iconic Muppets being phased out. They're more likely going to be reduced to having occasional and/or online exclusive appearances. However, there's a very good chance they're going to cut back on much of the human cast.

I feel like you could've condensed this post into one or two sentences, but to answer your question, I don't know, but it's not keeping me up at night.

Isn't that what Jason Siegel literally tried to do back in 2011?

The thing that really gets to me about this situation is how this is will hurt the entire Muppet fandom. Like, I know one bad apple can't define a fandom, but I worry that that might actually happen.

Yeah, I'm not a roller coaster person, so this kind of sucks there won't be a Muppet attraction that I'll be able to go on.

Quite frankly, I don't expect them to do that much for 55th Anniversary, since it's not that special of a number.
