The Muppets Courtyard and Muppet*Vision 3D closed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the gang will be moving over to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster for a new, updated version of the roller coaster. Now, Disney has just announced that The Muppets will be hitting Disney+, with the return of The Muppet Show! STAY CALM, MUPPETS FANS. It’s really happening!
It looks like the beloved franchise is still as popular as ever, as The Muppet Show is making a grand return to Disney’s popular streaming service, according to The Hollywood Reporter! The last episode of The Muppet Show aired all the way back in 1981. Now the show is back, and it’s going to be filled with “music, comedy, and plenty of chaos.” If that doesn’t sound like prime entertainment, we don’t know what does.

That’s not all — iconic pop star Sabrina Carpenter will be a special guest star for this event! The special will be celebrating the show’s 50th anniversary. We have seen many Muppets-themed shows come and go over the years. Who knows — maybe this could be a kick-starter for more episodes to come, and this show could be here to stay! We can dream, right?

Clearly, the fans still want more of The Muppets, as this news has excited fans from all over (including us)! We’re hoping that the new special episode of The Muppet Show launches the franchise into an exciting new future with the beloved characters. Maybe this will have some sort of connection to the retheming of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney World. The brand-new show is set to debut in 2026!

Disney announced that Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets will come to Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon! That means the current version featuring Aerosmith will be GONE in 2026, but will remain open for the entirety of 2025. We’re still waiting for more details about this new attraction, but Disney said that the Muppets will be teaming up with some of “music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival.”
