The Muppet Show Returning to Disney+ in 2026 with Seth Rogen and Sabrina Carpenter

Published on 9/17/25 by Craig Smith

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind Muppet reunion. Disney has revealed a brand-new Muppet Show Special is coming exclusively to Disney+ in 2026, with Seth Rogen at the creative helm as executive producer. Though not a full revival series, this standalone special promises to capture the heart, humor, and puppet pandemonium that made The Muppet Show legendary.

The special will retain the beloved recipe of sketch comedy, musical numbers, and hilarious celebrity cameos-most notably featuring Sabrina Carpenter as the first confirmed guest star. Her performance, combined with the return of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and others, aims to hit all the nostalgic notes while adding a fresh twist for today’s audience.

Filmed in a half-hour format with backstage mayhem and onstage antics, this event-style special is shaping up to be a marquee holiday-or otherwise-treat for longtime fans and new viewers alike. With details still unfolding, stay tuned as we track additional guest announcements, teaser trailers, and the all-important premiere date. The Muppets are returning-just for now, not the series-but their chaotic charm is as timeless as ever.
