Default ‘The Muppet Show’ returns with Disney+ special produced by Seth Rogen

https://deadline.com/2025/09/the-mup...ot-1236546510/

Quote:
The Muppet Show is making a comeback with a reboot produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's Point Grey Pictures. Disney+ has ordered a television event featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter to premiere in 2026, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the classic original series.

The special will serve as a backdoor pilot and, in success, would spawn a new Muppet Show television series. The event, labeled as Muppets pilot, received a tax credit from the California Film Commission last month.

From 20th Television, Disney Branded Television, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures, the brand-new installment will feature Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and the gang as they return to the Muppet Theatre to produce a variety show.

The special is written by Albertina Rizzo and directed by Alex Timbers. The two serve as executive producers alongside Carpenter as well as Rogen, Goldberg, James Weaver and Alex McAtee for Point Grey Pictures; David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter and Michael Steinbach for The Muppets Studio; and Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson.

Kermit, Miss Piggy and the beloved Muppet gang are back with a brand-new special event.

Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos is bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter!

Premiering on Disney+ and ABC on February 4.

Default I watched the new Muppet Show

I have Disney + so I figured I'd watch the new Muppet Show this morning. .Nothing can take the place of the old Muppet Show that Jim Henson had. But I'd say this one has a chance .Miss Piggy was her usual diva self.

The Muppet Show special understands the appeal of the original — it’s the best kind of fan service.

The 2026 The Muppet Show special successfully captures the essence of the original series, offering a nostalgic, "best kind of fan service" approach that avoids unnecessary modernization, say Slate and Nexus Point News. By returning to the theater format, featuring backstage chaos, and celebrity guests, it revives the classic formula that fans have loved since 1976.
