The Muppet Show is making a comeback with a reboot produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures. Disney+ has ordered a television event featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter to premiere in 2026, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the classic original series.

The variety special will serve as a backdoor pilot and, in success, would spawn a new Muppet Show television series. The event, labeled as Muppets pilot, will film in Los Angeles; it received a $1.6M tax credit from the California Film Commission last month.

From 20th Television, Disney Branded Television, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures, the brand-new installment will feature Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and the gang as they return to the Muppet Theatre to produce a variety show.
