Muppet Show to be featured in Disney+ special
Get ready to sing along and laugh out loud because the Muppets are making a comeback! Disney+ has a special in the works that will feature Sabrina Carpenter and all your favorite Jim Henson characters. Scheduled for release next year, this program is creating quite the buzz.
Variety reports that singer Sabrina Carpenter will not only star in the special but will also serve as an executive producer alongside Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It’s no secret that Carpenter is a huge Muppets fan, having expressed her love for the characters multiple times over the years. From naming Kermit as her favorite Hollywood date to channeling Miss Piggy at the VMAs, she’s clearly a perfect fit for this project.
The special promises to bring back all the beloved Muppet characters, including Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie, as they return to their theater to put on a variety show. If this special is a hit, we could be seeing even more Muppet adventures in the future. In fact, there’s talk that this could be a backdoor pilot for a new series!
Longtime Muppet performers like Bill Barretta, Dave Goelz, and Eric Jacobson will be on board to bring these iconic characters to life. For fans of the original series, seeing these familiar faces behind the scenes is sure to bring a wave of nostalgia.
This Disney+ special couldn’t come at a better time—it’s the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show next year! The original series, which aired from 1976 to 1981, holds a special place in the hearts of fans young and old. With all this excitement building up, it’s safe to say that the Muppets are back and ready to steal the show once again.
