Tina Fey will be finishing up the last season of 30 Rock on January 31st, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see her around. After winning a SAG Award on Sunday, the actress hit up the press room to share what she has in store in the future.

The 30 Rock star has a few movies in the works after completing the NBC series. Tina Fey finally confirmed the rumors that she will be joining the cast of The Muppets Sequel. The 42 year old will head out to London in March to start filming alongside Ricky Gervais. Then, she will move on to reunite with Date Night co-star Steve Carell in a new film called Mail Order Groom.

The mother of two doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Tina Fey is also working on a deal with NBC to develop another television show with the network. She says she will be working on the new project “over the next couple of years.” She also hinted a possible Mean Girls musical that she’d like to pursue. “Maybe! We want to. I would love to,” she told to E! News. “I’m trying to develop it with my husband, who does all the music for 30 Rock and I think Paramount’s onboard.”

The final episode of 30 Rock airs on Thursday, January 31.
