It's "The Muppet Show!" 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!

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights -- this spirited return to The Muppet Show's roots is clever, earnest, and feels exactly right.

Must Watch

Who would have thought that one of the best things they could have done is just do The Muppet Show again.

“The Muppet Show” is zany and wholesome, and above all, brings genuine heart along with the humor, rather than succumbing to cynicism like so much of comedy today.

With a new generation of writers and puppeteers, this new iteration of The Muppet Show is just as delightful as the one that premiered 50 years ago.

It’s so much fun watching the Muppets add extra levels of exaggeration and slapstick sauce to each sketch in a way only puppets can, while the nonsense they get themselves into is as delightful as it is deranged.

Sabrina Carpenter fitted in really well, and at around 30 minutes it didn't drag on too long. Always good to see Statler and Waldorf, and Animal on the drums. A nice blast of nostalgia, seeing Piggy, Fozzy, Ralph, Gonzo and the gang back together...

It was amazing. I'm starting my third re-watch. Rizzo doing The Weeknd cover made me laugh hard. THIS is what Muppets are supposed to be!

The Muppets return to form in a dazzling, chaotic masterpiece that proves Jim Henson’s creations are utterly timeless. This 2026 special is a triumphant blend of nostalgic reverence and razor-sharp modern wit. From the opening explosive musical number, the energy never dips below a fever pitch.The writers brilliantly capture the classic variety show format while injecting fresh, self-aware meta-humor that lands perfectly for both kids and adults. The celebrity cameos are seamlessly integrated, serving as hilarious foils to the felt mayhem rather than distracting gimmicks. Miss Piggy steals every scene with her signature diva energy, while Kermit’s frantic leadership anchors the emotional core of the chaotic narrative.Visually, the production is stunning. The practical puppetry feels vibrant and alive, enhanced by seamless modern stage effects. The soundtrack features instant-classic original songs alongside clever, updated covers that will stick in your head for weeks. is a great show.

Muy infantil pa' mí, pero no fue una molesta con todos los shows, que la verdad es que fueron bastante guays. Me la vi sobre todo por Sabrina Carpenter y de hecho su show fue mi favorito, DEVORÓ Y NO DEJÓ MIGAS💅Su show de "Manchild" me encantó. La pelea del bar me dio muchas vibras de esa misma canción :) El último show también fue muy marchoso, fue divertido. Por lo general me gustó sobre todo por los shows que me encantaron, y aunque hubo momentos muy infantiles también hubo muy graciosos y al fin y al cabo, tendrían que ser infantiles.
