Disney+ has just made it official: “It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to get things started as The Muppet Show returns for a triumphant event on Disney+ in 2026 with special guest star Sabrina Carpenter! This brand-new installment from The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures will feature Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and the gang as they return to the Muppet Theatre to put on a variety show filled with music, comedy, and plenty of chaos.”
The Muppets are celebrating 70 years all year long. Disney Parks and The Muppets are doing a magnet collection every week for 70 weeks. Plus, Disney Parks has announced that The Muppets will be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster here at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2026. While some fans are upset at the loss of Muppets Courtyard back in June of 2025, others are excited about the future.
Sabrina Carpenter, the star of Disney Channel’s ‘Girl Meets World,’ is no stranger to Disney and The Muppets Fans. Girl Meets World aired from June 27, 2014, to January 20, 2017.
