The second teaser for The Muppet Show, which first played on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, has now officially been released on YouTube.
The Muppet Show Premiere
It’s “The Muppet Show!” Kermit, Miss Piggy and the beloved Muppet gang are back with a brand-new special event. Music, comedy, and a whole lot of chaos are bound to ensue when The Muppets once again take the stage of the original Muppet Theatre with their very special guest, Sabrina Carpenter!
From 20th Television, Disney Branded Television, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures, the special event is directed by Alex Timbers, who also serves as executive producer. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Alex McAtee are executive producers for Point Grey Pictures; David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter and Michael Steinbach are executive producers for The Muppets Studio; Sabrina Carpenter, Albertina Rizzo, Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson are executive producers.
Veteran Muppet performers Bill Barretta, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, Peter Linz, David Rudman and Matt Vogel will perform the majority of the iconic Muppet characters in this production, supported by a team of additional performers. Dave Goelz, who has performed with The Muppets for over 50 years, was one of the performers on the original “The Muppet Show” and originated the characters Gonzo and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, among many others.
The revival of The Muppet Show premieres on Disney+ and ABC on February 4, 2026.

The revival is a single special but, as Kermit says, “It’s the return of The Muppet Show! Back on the very stage where it all started and then ended, and is maybe starting again, depending on how tonight goes.”
In the first teaser, Kermit prepared the Muppet Theatre for their return.
The original series “The Muppet Show,” created by Jim Henson, ran from 1976 through 1981 and aired in over 100 countries, featuring notable guest stars, including Elton John, Johnny Cash, Diana Ross, Debbie Harry, Gladys Knight, Liza Minelli, Paul Simon and many others.
During its run, the series earned Emmy, GRAMMY, Peabody, BAFTA and numerous other awards. In a 1978 story, Time magazine called it “the most popular television entertainment now being produced on Earth.” In 2026, “The Muppet Show” will celebrate its 50th anniversary. All five seasons of “The Muppet Show” are currently available to stream on Disney+.
2026 appears to be a return to form year for the Muppets, as they will also appear on Disney Cruise Line. Rizzo and Bean Bunny have made their unexpected return as well. Work is already underway for the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
