Disney released the official trailer for a television special of The Muppets that marks the return of the iconic format of The Muppet Show, within the framework of the celebration of its 50th anniversary. The event will feature the special participation of singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter.
The special will premiere on the next February 4th and will be broadcast simultaneously on the ABC network and the Disney+ platform in the United States. The production recovers the classic theater setting where the Muppets offered their traditional variety show, combining music, comedy and appearances by special guests.
In the presented preview, the characters led by Gustavo, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and Fozzie try to raise the curtain again for a special night, in a proposal that works as a pilot episode with a view to a possible renewal of the program in a full season format.
In addition to Sabrina Carpenter, the special will feature the participation of other entertainment figures, including well-known names in comedy, and the return of veteran puppeteers who have brought the characters to life for decades.
This project seeks to gauge the public’s response and pay tribute to the legacy of The Muppets, one of the most beloved franchises in television history, which has marked several generations with its humor and creativity.
