I’ve long held the opinion that we don’t get enough exposure to Miss Piggy in public life (she’s fabulous! She’s curvaceous! She, like me, is single and ready to mingle, after dumping that toxic green softboy Kermit in 2015!)—and apparently Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, and Cole Escola agree with me. This week, Lawrence broke the news that the trio is working on a new Miss Piggy movie.
“I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just going to. Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole [Escola] is writing it,” Lawrence revealed on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’s podcast Las Culturistas on Wednesday.
I would never be so bold as to try to predict what sort of high jinks the delightfully depraved and beyond-brilliant Escola will craft for our porcine queen Miss Piggy in (that’s why they get paid the big Broadway bucks, not me!), but given the success of Greta Gerwig’s grown-up-skewed Barbie—and the green light on that Ayo Edebiri-penned Barney movie—I wouldn’t be surprised to find Miss Piggy in some more adult situations than she’s previously encountered on The Muppet Show. Will Miss Piggy try nonmonogamy? Disavow the embarrassing concept of having a boyfriend entirely? Perhaps get a little queer with it? I literally cannot wait to find out.
