Is The Muppet Show Advance Screening coming to D23 Gold Theater Heres what we know

Is The Muppet Show Advance Screening coming to D23 Gold Theater? Here’s what we know? Staging Theater D23.com has The Muppet Show Advance Screening listed, but no announcement has been made from D23! Check out the screenshot: It looks like a countdown timer for a D23 Gold Theater event, specifically an advance screening of The Muppet Show.

The website shows that “doors open” on Wednesday, January 28, at 12:03 PM EST. Right now, Disney hasn’t said a word about this. The graphic uses the standard D23 Gold Theater branding. This is the same platform Disney uses to give Gold members early digital access to new shows. If this is real, it’s happening fast. The timer in the image suggests the event starts tomorrow.

The Muppets have a huge special coming to Disney+ and ABC on February 4. It’s directed by Alex Timbers and stars Sabrina Carpenter. Disney and The Muppets released the full trailer recently.

Getting a screening on January 28 would give fans a look at the show a full week before everyone else. It fits Disney’s usual pattern of giving D23 members a “first look” at big projects.

It’s hard to say for sure. The website is legit, and the 12:03 PM start time is specific enough to feel real. But since there’s no official post on the D23 website yet, it’s still just a rumor. If you would like to see it, here is the direct link to The Muppet Show Advance Screener D23 Gold Theater. If you’re a D23 Gold Member, you might want to check your email tomorrow morning. If this is happening, that’s where the link will show up. We’ll keep an eye on Disney’s official channels to see if they confirm it.

Disney+ just released the official trailer for The Muppet Show, a new 2026 special event starring Sabrina Carpenter, Maya Rudolph, and Seth Rogen. Fans can watch the premiere on Disney Plus and ABC this February, featuring a modern take on the classic variety show format created by Jim Henson. This 50th-anniversary celebration brings Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy back to the original Muppet Theatre for a night of music and comedy.

You can catch the special on February 4. It’s airing in two places: Disney+ – Starts streaming at 12:00 a.m. PST / 3:00 a.m. EST. ABC – Airs on network TV at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.

The guest list is pretty solid for this one. Sabrina Carpenter is the main headliner, but they just confirmed Maya Rudolph is joining too. Seth Rogen is also guest-starring and helping run things behind the scenes as an executive producer.
