In 2026, 50 years have passed since the premiere of The Muppet Show, the iconic variety series that marked generations with its sketches, music, and irreverent humor. To commemorate this date, Disney+ has released a new television special that recovers the original style of the program and presents it to today's audience.
The special, available since February 4, 2026, brings together beloved characters such as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and company at the legendary Muppet Theatre, with laughs, musical numbers, and that mix of chaos that characterized the original series. Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter is the special guest of the event, bringing her energy and charisma as she interacts with the Muppets and leads several sections of the show. In turn, Maya Rudolph and Seth Rogen also participate with appearances that broaden the program's appeal to a diverse audience.
This entertainment special not only celebrates the heritage of one of television's most beloved formats, but also presents the possibility that future productions will further expand the Muppet universe in the modern era.
