Disney+ has released a first look at its upcoming Muppet Show special event, which premieres on the streamer and ABC on Feb. 4. The trailer shows the familiar faces of beloved characters Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and more getting ready to take the stage at the original Muppet Theatre with the help of some new friends.
“It’s the return of The Muppet Show — back on the very stage where it all started, and then ended, and is maybe starting again depending on how tonight goes,” Kermit announces in the 30-second clip.
The preview for The Muppet Show reveals special guest Sabrina Carpenter buttering up Miss Piggy backstage.
“You are an icon,” says Carpenter, who welcomed Miss Piggy to her own show in November, “arresting” the Muppet star at the final stop of the Short N’ Sweet Tour in Los Angeles. More recently, the pop star released Man’s Best Friend (Bonus Track Version) on streaming services with the song “Such a Funny Way” on Christmas Eve. (A lyric video for the track also arrived as a holiday surprise for fans.)
“You’re too sweet,” Miss Piggy replies before cheekily adding, “Go on.”
Seth Rogen, executive producer on the new Muppet Show project, also gets some screentime in the sneak peek.
Watch the trailer for Disney’s The Muppet Show reboot below. Jim Henson’s original Muppet Show first went to series 50 years ago, in 1976, and ran through 1981.
