The Muppet Show
"Someday we'll find it, that rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me" was sung by Kermit the Frog in the first of many films entitled The Muppet Movie. The Muppets have been a part of so many of our childhood memories.
Now, Disney announces a plan to bring the Muppets to a brand-new generation with a rebirth of "The Muppet Show." As some Muppet fans may remember, this concept first catapulted the Muppets into stardom.
Created by Jim Hesons in 1976 and airing through 1981, this variety show featuring Kermit the Frog and his gang quickly amassed a huge following, with the first full-length film, "The Muppet Movie," released in 1979.
New "The Muppet Show" in 2026
In 2026, a full 50 years after the first The Muppet Show, Disney+ will stream a special new "The Muppet Show".
The great news is that Muppet veterans such as Bill Barretta, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, Peter Linz, David Rudman, and Matt Vogel return to bring the true magic of the Muppets to life.
One thing that "The Muppet Show" is known for is featuring popular Hollywood entertainers, and this tribute to "The Muppet Show" is no different. Disney just announced that Sabrina Carpenter will guest star.
The Muppet Show Release Date
When first announced, a release date was not provided, but it was expected to stream in 2026.
"The Muppet Show" will debut on Disney+ and ABC on February 4, 2026.
Today, Disney announced that "The Muppet Show" will debut on Disney+ and ABC on February 4, 2026. 2026 will be a BIG year for the Muppets with them coming to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and new live shows promised in the Parks and aboard the Disney Cruise Line.
