Why Disney Adults Are Marking February 4th On Their Calendars

If you have Disney+, you’re probably already looking forward to all the great programming coming to the streamer in 2026, like Marvel’s Wonder Man, season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, and Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord.

Well, there’s something else to look forward to in 2026, too. The Muppet Show is returning for a special event with special guest star Sabrina Carpenter. Now, we know when that special will air: February 4th.

That’s right. “It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights,” because The Muppet Show special event will premiere on Disney+ on February 4th (and we’re already marking our calendars). The new episode of The Muppet Show will bring back its variety show on the stage at the original Muppet Theatre, and it will be “filled with music, comedy, and plenty of chaos.” Sabrina Carpenter will be the special guest star for the event. Disney even posted a special teaser to get you stoked for the big day.

This special will celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Muppet Show, but the Muppets are making a bit of a big splash everywhere in 2026. The Muppet gang might have left Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but they’ll soon be the stars of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in Disney World.

In the meantime, you can watch the older episodes of The Muppet Show on Disney+, as well as The Muppets, The Muppets Mayhem, and more. You can never have too much of the Muppets. Of course, there’s also my favorite adaptation of Dickens “A Christmas Carol,” The Muppet Christmas Carol.

We’ll keep an eye out for more big Muppets news, including more details about the new ride in Disney World, so you’ll want to follow us so you don’t miss out.
