In this exclusive look at a new promo for ABC’s freshman comedy The Muppets (premiering Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 8/7c), Fillion — who in a previous clip was seen having his bacon eyed by a shameless Miss Piggy — chats up Kermit backstage at a shoot, where he gets the 411 on the frog’s new series.

Fillion, though, seems most interested in the specific status of Kermit and Piggy’s off-and-on romance. Press PLAY above to see how that sits with poor Kermit!
