Seth Rogen is coming off an exceptional weekend for his career. The Studio, the Apple TV+ subscription-exclusive he co-created, won 13 categories at Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards, the most ever for a comedy TV show with just a single season. That makes it even better that The Studio is returning for Season 2, and his other Apple TV+ show, Platonic, is currently airing on the 2025 TV schedule. Now it’s been announced that Rogen will be bringing back The Muppet Show next year in a special way… in that it will literally be a special.
As shared by THR and other outlets, Seth Rogen is putting together a Muppet Show TV special that will be released in 2026 on Disney+. Singer, songwriter and fellow actor Sabrina Carpenter will star in the project and also executive produce. The special will air as The Muppet Show celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, and the goal is for this revival to function as a backdoor pilot for a new season.
