  In the context of the Physics Beyond Colliders Project, various new experiments have been proposed for the M2 beamline at the CERN North Area fixed target experimental facility. The experiments include MUonE, NA64µ, and the successor to the COMPASS experiment, tentatively named AMBER/NA66. The AMBER/NA66 collaboration proposes to build a QCD facility requiring conventional muon and hadron beams for runs up to 2024 in the first phase of the experiment. MUonE aims to measure the hadronic contribution to the vacuum polarization in the context of the (gµ-2) anomaly with a setup longer than 40 m and a 160 GeV/c high intensity, low divergence muon beam. NA64µ is a muon beam program for dark sector physics requiring a 100 - 160 GeV/c muon beam with a 15-25 m long setup. All three experiments request similar beam times up to 2024 with compelling physics programs, which required launching extensive studies for integration, installation, beam optics, and background estimations. The experiments will be presented along with details of the studies performed to check their feasibility and compatibility with an emphasis on the updated optics for these next-generation muon beam experiments.
