Sabrina Carpenter helps herald the return of The Muppet Showand she does it with plenty of charm alongside one of television’s most beloved divas, Miss Piggy.
The pop star appears in the very first teaser for the upcoming special, which debuted during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Eve with Ryan Seacrest instantly setting the tone for a playful and star-studded revival.
In the teaser, Carpenter is fully game for the Muppets’ trademark mayhem, sharing the screen and even matching outfits with Miss Piggy.
A striking moment shows Espresso singer praising Miss Piggy as an icon, a compliment the Muppet legend accepts with flair.
“You’re too sweet. Go on,” Miss Piggy replies, perfectly in character. The exchange highlights the easy chemistry between the two and gives fans a taste of the humor the special pledges will deliver.
Carpenter’s appearance also feels like a fun continuation of her recent onstage interaction with Miss Piggy during her last stop Short n’ Sweet Tour in Los Angeles.
At that show, Carpenter jokingly “arrested” Miss Piggy before he performed Juno.
Addressing the crowd, she said: “You guys are so beautiful, it should be a crime,” before looking at Miss Piggy and Bobo the Bear, adding: “Just like you, beautiful. I’d know that face anywhere!”
When asked if she enjoyed the concert, Miss Piggy said: “I love it! I mean, I have a few notes. I’ll share them with you after the show.”
Bobo the Bear then stepped in with mock authority and told her, “Let’s go, Pig…Tell the judge, sister.”
The teaser also features Seth Rogen, who seems genuinely excited to be a part of the Muppet universe.
In a brief exchange with Fozzie Bear, Rogen admits, “It’s always been a dream of mine to be here,” prompting Fozzie’s classic punchline response.
With familiar faces, light-hearted humor and celebrity guests clearly enjoying the moment, The Muppet Show aims to mix nostalgia with fresh energy.
The special premieres on ABC and Disney+ on Wednesday, February 4, giving fans old and new another reason to celebrate the Muppets’ timeless appeal.
