OFFICIAL: The Muppet Show to return in 2026 with a new special starring Sabrina Carpenter

If you guys think I’m going to say it’s the end of the Muppets for your entertainment, well, don’t count on it! I’m supporting the Muppets and I do hope this reboot of The Muppet Show will do good. Hopefully better than The Muppets 2015, Muppets Now, or Muppet Mayhem.

We're allowed to have our own opinions man, it's not that deep. It's cool that you're enjoying the new stuff, you do you, but don't expect everyone else to feel the same.

Reboot of the Muppet Show? It's a one-time anniversary special isn't it? Or did I miss something?

I'm excited to see it and am hopeful that it leads to more Muppet exposure. But sadly, I'm leaning LittleJerry's way. Hope they prove me wrong.

You can be excited for something while still having extremely low expectations. That’s what I was saying in my original post.

Of course I’m excited for new Muppet material. I just hate the way Disney continually spits in our faces with how they treat the franchise.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic for this. I feel like part of what makes (or, made) the Muppets so special is that it was a group of really talented performers doing like whatever they wanted. Under Disney's control, they just feel too "corporate" if that makes sense. That's not to say that Disney hasn't done anything good with them. Both theatrical movies were great, I LOVED the 2015 show (a decade later and I'm still not over the fact that it was canceled after one season lol), the Electric Mayhem show was great. But that "spark" from the pre-Disney era is missing.

I'm going to watch it with an open mind, of course. I want to like it. I just hope they manage to pull it off really well.

That post I can respect! Thank you! Of course, to be honest, I’m kind of nervous! Excited, but nervous. And yes, I know it’s a back door pilot. But I’m not giving up hope on Disney and the Muppets.

If it fails, then I’ll say it’s the end of the Muppets (Which I hope I don’t say that)!

I’m going to be real with you in the most honest and respectful way possible. I really am convinced now seeing your past history with how you’ve presented yourself with this that you just enjoy blowing things out of proportion for the attention.
