Get ready to cheer! Disney is bringing back *The Muppet Show* in its classic variety-show format, starting with a single special episode in 2026. The Muppets announced the news online, giving fans a peek at the new set and Kermit the Frog. Just like the original show, this special will feature a guest star: Sabrina Carpenter. It’s a brilliant pairing! Carpenter’s playful and vibrant personality has even been compared to Bugs Bunny in drag, setting the stage for some hilarious interactions with the Muppets’ talking animals. Plus, she’s the same height as Kermit, and a showdown between her and Miss Piggy is already shaping up to be iconic – it might even become a case study in schools!
I’ve been a Muppets fan for years, and I’ve seen them try a few different approaches to bring the show back. In the ’90s, there was *Muppets Tonight*, which felt a lot like the original, but with Clifford hosting as this really energetic, late-night style character. Then in 2015, *The Muppets* was this funny mockumentary, like *The Office*, showing what went on behind the scenes. More recently, *Muppets Now* on Disney+ tried to jump on the short-form video trend. Disney+ even gave a full reboot a shot with *The Electric Mayhem*. But this new *Muppet Show* special feels different – it’s being made with the Muppets Studio *and* Point Grey Pictures, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s company. Honestly, I have a feeling this one is going to be special, and maybe even win some awards!
