Grammy-winning pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter dazzles in a glittering pink sequin outfit in the newly released teaser trailer for The Muppet Show 2026, a landmark television special set to celebrate the series’ 50th anniversary. The trailer, which debuted on Friday, December 2, features Carpenter in perfect harmony with the one-and-only diva, Miss Piggy, marking a vibrant fusion of contemporary music and classic comedy.
The teaser opens with Kermit the Frog making the eagerly awaited announcement: “It’s the return of The Muppet Show!” The scene then shifts to the iconic backstage dressing room, where Sabrina Carpenter, looking radiant, turns to Miss Piggy and declares, “You’re an icon.” The mutual admiration between the star and the Muppets’ leading lady sets the tone for a special brimming with glamour and playful chaos.
According to the official synopsis released by Disney, “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!”
The announcement has sparked a wave of excitement across social media, with fans expressing disbelief and joy at the unexpected collaboration. One fan enthusiastically posted on X, “It’s The Muppet Show, with our very special guest stars Seth Rogen and Sabrina Carpenter! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!” Another echoed the sentiment, writing, “The last thing I expected was to see Sabrina Carpenter in a Muppet special, and even from Disney 2026 LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO.”
This new special is particularly significant as it commemorates five decades since the original The Muppet Show premiered in 1976. It promises a return to the classic variety-show format that made the series a global phenomenon, blending musical performances, sketch comedy, and the beloved backstage antics that defined the franchise.
