More "Earth to Ned" Coming Soon!

When Earth to Ned, premiered on Disney+ in September it broke with the streamers tradition of  releasing episode weekly and instead dropped 10 episodes all once. 

We hoped that wouldn't be the last we saw of Ned, Cornelius and the Clogs and now Collider has revealed that our new favorite Alien talk show will drop it's next batch of episode New Years Day!

The number of episodes hasn't been announced, but we do know guests Tig Notaro, Ginnifer Goodwin, Penn & Teller, and Kevin Smith will be beamed up to the battle cruiser. 

Collider talked to executive producer Brian Henson about the show and what what can expect from this next batch of episodes. 

The first 10 episodes of Earth to Ned are streaming now on Disney+ with more to come Jan 1st!

TVLine: Earth to Ned (One of) Falls Best New Shows!

 TVLine has named Earth to Ned one of falls "Best New Shows."

Two of their reviewers championed the series thusly:

Andy Swift said "At a time when most late-night TV hosts feel like puppets anyway, this take on the genre from the Jim Henson Company (starring a four-armed alien and his know-nothing crew of intergalactic sass-bots) feels like the next logical step. A worthy successor to Muppets Now, Earth to Ned‘s strongest asset is its cast of characters you can’t help but root for — which is good, because these goofballs really have no idea what they’re doing. 

While NIck Caruso opined "Disappointed by Muppets Now? Earth to Ned can fill that puppet-sized hole in your childlike heart. Helmed by the Jim Henson Company, this mock late-night show is hosted by alien commander Ned, an E.T. who’s obsessed with Earth’s celebrity culture. Assisted by his lieutenant Cornelius, they beam famous faces (including comedians Andy Richter and Kristen Schaal) up to their ship for interviews, games and more, all while trying to figure out the secret sauce behind successful talk shows. The series’ sharp writing and top-notch puppetry make for a super-fun binge for fans of all ages. 

You can read what other non-Henson produced-Alien talk shows they thought were worth your time at TVline.

Muppets Now Ends Earth To Ned Begins!

Hard to believe today marks the finale of Muppets Now. Whether we'll see more Now or something else from The Muppets ...SOON remains to be seen. 

But for NOW, enjoy the Muppets Now finale while Now is still NOW and not THEN. 

As Aughra once said "End.Begin. All Same" and as one thing ends another begins as Earth to Ned, the new alien talk show from The Jim Henson Company, premieres. 

The first episode features Andy Richter and Gillian Jacobs with Joshua Bassett, Rachel Bilson, Michael Ian Black, Rachel Bloom, Gina Carano, RuPaul, Taye Diggs, , Lil Rel Howery, Bindi and Robert Irwin, NeNe Leakes, Thomas Lennon, Joel McHale, Olivia Rodrigo, Eli Roth, Kristen Schaal, Paul Scheer, Jenny Slate, Raven Symoné, Reggie Watts and Billy Dee Williams set to appear in subsequent episodes. 

Muppets Now and Earth to Ned are both streaming NOW on Disney+.

Earth To Ned Reviews!

Earth To Ned premieres tomorrow and a few early reviews are in.

The series revolves around Ned as he hosts a talk show in order to find out more earth as he decides weather to invade our planet or blow it up. 

Slashfilm calls it a "Delightfully Quirky and Funny Talk Show."


Mike Celestino at Laughing Place says "The biggest compliment I can give to Earth to Ned is that it feels like something Jim Henson would have created had he survived to see the streaming era– a fun and slightly edgy (though thoroughly family-friendly) take on the contemporary talk-show format."
Collider gave Earth To Ned an "A" and says it's "easily the weirdest talk show on the market and a total triumph. It’s as joyous as it is bizarre."

Attractions Magazine says it's "a delightful, somewhat edgy addition to Disney+."
Our friends at ToughPigs say "the show itself is a strange combination of scripted comedy with improv interviews." "But the semi-improvisational nature of the show leads to some off-kilter pacing and inconsistencies, and there are very few genuine laughs."

Find out for yourself if this new Henson company show is worth what's left of your precious time on earth when Earth To Ned premieres tomorrow on Disney+.

Earth to Ned Trailer!

Disney+ released a first look at their new series Earth To Ned, the platforms first collaboration between Disney and The Jim Henson Company!

D23 Spotlights Muppets Now and Earth To Ned!

The latest issue of D23, Disney's fan magazine contains not one, not two, but three Henson related articles. 

The cover story may be on the Walt Disney Archives, but the main draw for Muppets fans is a sneak peek at Muppets Now, the new improv Muppet series coming to Disney+. 

While the article is short on details, there are a few celebrity names dropped that we should expect to see in the show including Seth Rogen, RuPaul, Taye Diggs, Aubrey Plaza, and Danny Trejo.

And we now know that the series will be split up among the following sketches: Pepe the King Prawn's game show, a cooking show with The Swedish Chef, Miss Piggy's lifestyle show, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker will show off their latest inventions, and they'll be chat segment with surprise celebrity guests. 

Next is an interview with Kermit and Miss Piggy, where a few more Muppets Now secrets are spilled, including some celebrity guests (which we've included in the last above).

The issue also has a look at the new Henson Company talk show, Earth To Ned also coming to Disney+. 

The premise revolves around Ned and his lieutenant Cornelius who were sent to Earth to plan an invasion but instead become obsessed with popular culture.

Ned creates a talk show to interview celebrities in order to out more about Earth while he tries to decide whether or not to destroy it. You know, just like Jimmy Fallon. 

While Earth To Ned doesn't have a launch date yet, the issue says we should expect it sometime this fall.

Thankfully we don't have to wait as long for Muppets Now as the series will premiere July 31st on Disney+!

New Henson Puppet Talk Show Coming to Disney+!

The Hollywood Reporter has reveled that the Jim Henson Company has a new puppet talk - Earth to Ned, coming to Disney+. 

Earth to Ned, is a comedic half-hour talk show in which aliens interview celebrity guests. 

Here's the official description:

The comedy follows Ned, a blue-skinned alien, and his lieutenant Cornelius, who were sent to scout Earth for an eventual invasion — but instead became obsessed with popular culture. Now they host a talk show, broadcast from the bridge of their spaceship hidden deep underground, where they interview our most precious commodity — celebrities — to talk about Ned’s current pop culture obsessions. Ned will be bringing real-life celebrity guests to his ship from across the known universe and interviewing them, late-night talk show style, in hopes of producing the ultimate talk show — making Ned a celebrity and putting him further off-mission. And the more Ned learns about our human culture, the more obsessed he becomes.

The characters of Ned, Cornelius, their artificial intelligence BETI and army of "Clods" (cloned living objects of destruction, all featured below) are brought to life by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

"Disney has a long history of giving audiences a glimpse at faraway lands and bringing new talent into the spotlight. We believe Ned is next in line,” said Dan Silver, vp unscripted originals at Disney+. “We’re lucky to have the talents of the Jim Henson Co. and the folks at Marwar Junction Productions helping Ned, Cornelius, BETI and the Clods to execute and fully realize their vision. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Ned for promising to entertain us, rather than destroy us all."


The series will exclusively stream on Disney+ which launches Nov. 12. No word yet on when Earth to Ned will debut on the service.
