Sabrina Carpenter is joining The Muppets in a new Disney+ special event. That’s right, this is a sentence that exists out in the universe. Disney+ and The Muppet Show announced a new special on social media. Unfortunately, you’re gonna have to wait till 2026 to see this musical special. But, the buzz is already there for people who love The Muppets and can’t get enough of one of our brightest young pop stars. Sometimes, these kinds of things just spontaneously generate out of the ether.
The Muppet Show returning in this fashion makes all the sense in the world. After MuppetVision 3D closed up shop this year, there was an entire multiple-day discourse cycle on what the future looked like for Jim Henson’s delightful creations. It’s no secret that the offerings featuring the Muppets haven’t been as omnipresent as fans would have liked in the streaming era.
