Disney+ and ABC have got a treat in store for fans of the beloved Muppet franchise as a highly anticipated musical event premieres on February 4. The special, which marks the return of the original Muppet Theatre, promises to be an unforgettable experience with its new music, behind-the-scenes shenanigans, and star-studded lineup.
The teaser trailer gives us a glimpse into what's in store for fans when Sabrina Carpenter joins the Muppets on stage. In a heartwarming moment, the pop star pays Miss Piggy a compliment, saying she is "an icon." The response from the porcine diva? Humility at first, followed by matching outfits with Sabrina.
In another fun exchange, Seth Rogen makes an appearance as Muppet Show executive producer, giving Fozzie Bear some words of encouragement. When asked about his dreams, Fozzie suggests that maybe he should aim higher. The OG muppet's response leaves fans chuckling.
The stakes are high for the production team, which promises a return to form with the classic show. According to Kermit (voiced by Matt Vogel), "It's the return of the Muppet show." The stage is set for an unforgettable night as the Muppets take center stage once again, starting on February 4.
Disney first announced plans for this special in September 2025, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the original Muppet Show series. The cast includes familiar faces like Dave Goelz (Gonzo) and Bill Barretta, as well as newcomers from previous series. The special follows the success of recent shows like "The Muppets Mayhem" and "Muppets Now," which featured cameos from big-name celebrities.
