“Isn’t it wonderful to be back in the theater and giving people what they truly want: moi?” So asks Miss Piggy in the trailer for The Muppet Show, which returns for a special episode on Disney+ and ABC this February.
The one-night event revives the beloved Muppets variety series, which originally ran for five seasons from 1976 to 1981. All your favorites are back, from Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear to Gonzo and Statler and Waldorf. Plus, they’ll be greeting new guests like Maya Rudolph, Seth Rogen (who also executive produces), and Sabrina Carpenter.
Carpenter already has history with the Muppets — specifically, with Miss Piggy herself. On the final stop of her Short n’ Sweet tour, Miss Piggy was the Grammy winner’s “Juno” arrest, which means that Carpenter was arresting her for being “too hot.” We’re sure that was music to Miss Piggy’s ears.
You know what’s not music to Miss Piggy’s ears? What Carpenter tells her in the trailer: that her grandparents used to watch The Muppet Show. Maybe just stick to telling her she’s hot!
For more of Carpenter and Miss Piggy’s glamorous get-together (as well as more general Muppet chaos), check out the full trailer above.
The Muppet Show will also see the return of veteran Muppet performers Bill Barretta, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, Peter Linz, David Rudman, and Matt Vogel.
The Muppet Show premieres Feb. 4 on Disney+ and ABC.
