Today is a big day for Disney+ subscribers. Two new shows have debuted on Disney’s streaming service. They are very different, but Disney fans will love them both.
First off, The Muppet Show special has arrived. This is a new take on the classic Jim Henson series that first debuted 50 years ago. This special guest stars Sabrina Carpenter, along with Seth Rogan and Maya Rudolph. They join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the Muppets at the Muppet Theater.

The Muppet Show Official Description
It’s “The Muppet Show”! Kermit, Miss Piggy and the beloved Muppets ensemble 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!
From 20th Television, Disney Branded Television, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures, the special event is directed by Alex Timbers, who also serves as executive producer. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Alex McAtee are executive producers for Point Grey Pictures; David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter and Michael Steinbach are executive producers for The Muppets Studio; Sabrina Carpenter, Albertina Rizzo, Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson are executive producers.
“The Muppet Show Theme (2026)” single will be available Feb. 4 and is performed by The Muppets and produced by GRAMMY® and Emmy® Award-winner Bill Sherman.
Along with The Muppet Show, another series from the Walt Disney Imagineering YouTube channel has also been added to Disney+. We Call it Imagineering gives an in-depth look at the wing of Disney that imagines and creates so many of the experiences guests have when they visit the parks, stay at the hotels, or cruise on its ships. We Call It Imagineering invites audiences behind the closed doors at Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Live Entertainment to see how new lands, attractions, and entertainment experiences are designed and brought to life. All seven episodes are now streaming on Disney+. Take a look at the seven episodes below.
