Based on past Buena Vista Home Entertainment TV show season box sets (like the Muppet Show) it can take anywhere between 3 and 13 months between seasons releases - so that means sometime between November 2005 and September 2006 for season 2 box set.
Being that this is a hot item, they will want to "milk" season 1 before moving on adding another product to the market, so it will take some time for them to let it play out (until at least after the holiday buying season). The break between a season 1 set and a season 2 set are usally the longest (if not equal to the gap between all the others) because they are really feeling out if their is a market for this show, and what it is. They are also getting feedback on what worked and what needs improvement in the DVD line.
Also being that they are doing remastering/restoring along with creating bonus features (Muppet Morsels and whatnot) it will take longer than their bare minimum slap-it-together sets. Plus being that more Muppet DVDs are hitting the shelves in November (TMM, GMC, MCC, and MTI) they will probably want to wait a little longer and not flood the Muppet DVD market with their 7th Muppet DVD release in three months. However with Kermit's 50th celebration in 2006, they will probally want it (and possibly season 3) out in 2006 - one in the Spring (April/May-ish) and one in late Summer (August/Septmber-ish).
Given all this and their normal trends, I think it won't be until at least Spring or maybe early summer until we see a season 2 box set - at the earliest. Heck it could be a whole year (that's right, it may take until August 2006).
