Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppet gang are heading back to television, with The Muppet Show returning in a new revival that brings on board Seth Rogen and pop star Sabrina Carpenter.
The original variety-show format, famous for pairing the Muppets with a rotating cast of celebrity guest stars, made the franchise a cultural touchstone for generations of viewers. Bringing in Rogen and Carpenter for the new version signals an attempt to blend the show’s classic sketch-comedy roots with names that resonate with today’s audiences.
Details on premiere dates, episode count and the exact format the revival will follow have not been fully confirmed, but the involvement of two high-profile names this early suggests the project is being positioned as a major push for the franchise. More casting and scheduling news is expected as the show moves closer to production.
