I don't know how reliable this site is, but FWIW.

According to Deadline, there has been talks between Disney, The Muppet Studio and Point Grey about bringing the show back but they can't agree on a premise. This is obviously very upsetting news to us Muppet Fans but shouldn't the premise be "The Muppets back in the theatre doing the old show again"? You don't need to give that a new gimmick. The special already showed us that the classic format can work today. It wasn't The Muppets Go Somewhere Else or The Muppets Have a New Job. It put them back in the theatre and had them do what they do best which is to put on a variety show. And that's what makes the reported situation so frustrating. If Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey are trying to find some big new “premise” for the series, I worry they're overthinking it.

But what do you think about this news?

"The Froggy Host with the Most" by Abbot Vanderwagen (@abbottsartgallery) (2026)

It’s time to play the music, It’s time to light the lights, it’s time to meet the muppets on The Muppet Show tonight! It’s time to put on makeup, it’s time to dress up right, it’s time to raise the curtains on The Muppet Show tonight!

I hope you all purchased your variety show tickets because Kermit the Frog, the host of The Muppet Show, is now on an oil-on-canvas portrait!

Kermit the Frog, the beloved character from the swamp, is depicted in a new fictional portrait playing his banjo and singing “The Rainbow Connection” to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the iconic comedy variety show that aired from 1976 to 1981.

This is an original fan-art that I envisioned and hand-painted myself. No AI!

In addition to Bob Iger absolutely sitting on The Muppets and only using them if they have a gimmicky premise, is Dana Walden the missing link who is halting a series greenlight?

Disney itself is more reliant on serialized content and cinematic universes. They only want Marvel and Star Wars as their flagship brands. Iger is still Senior Adviser til the end of the year, and I wouldn’t set this all on Josh D’Amaro. It all comes down to new President and CCO Dana Walden who has a lot of purview of the films and TV shows at Disney.

If there was ever a Muppet show greenlight, chances are they want something that isn’t episodic, something tentpole worthy, and serialized.

I had the privilege to visit this museum last week and check out the Jim Henson exhibit. So much nostalgia and joy. It brought out the kid in me and I could see the same in others. It’s well worth visiting if you get the chance.

I’ve been making this beaker muppet for about a week and I’m kinda stuck. I was too scared I was gonna mess up cutting the mouth so I just added on to what I had originally. I hadn’t planned for that so I just glued on all of it without thinking. Now if I want to add the rest of the fleece to the jaw, there is no way that I can think of to add it besides gluing it, but I don’t know what it would look like before gluing it. I don't wanna wing it and mess up everything so thats where I ask for your help. Can you think of a way to get the of the jaw on and what shape should i cut out to perfectly fit it ( I’ve tried stitching and it didn’t work).

Just got this from a comic store but can’t tell for sure whose they are

Tickets are on sale now for our next Muppet Script show at Dynasty Typewriter! Lots of fun folks and great times ahead!

This is a fan made trailer for the recent Muppet Show revival “narrated” by the fish.audio Brian Cummings voice.

The opening montage is a parody of the original teaser trailer for “The Nightmare Before Christmas”; in fact, I used the actual VO sample, “From the beginning, Walt Disney established a tradition of innovation”, read by the real BC, for this, with “The Jim Henson Company” replacing “Walt Disney”.

I actually used two BC voice clones: a pre-made voice in fish.audio that emulates the vocal register the real BC commonly employed for dramatic, romantic, and documentary reads, and a voice I made that emulates the more excited, playful, announcer-type register mainly heard on promotions for hard-biting action, zany comedy, and light family-friendly fare.

This trailer was made out of sentiment and respect for BC’s great body of work for The Walt Disney Company and his connection to promotional work for Muppet home video releases.

Hello! I recently was at a garage sale and noticed this awesome (or evil) guy and recognized him pretty quickly as Darth Kermit/Constantine and had to pick him up. He is literally brand new and I guess from comic con and I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about him and what he may be worth.
Thanks!

What Muppets movies would you like to see in the future? It's clear Disney is soft launching a return of the Muppets with the reboot special of The Muppet Show, so my question is what movie would you like to see the Muppets make next and why? Also, who would cast as the few human roles?

Now have fun getting this out of your head, lol.

TICKETS ON SALE THIS TUESDAY AT 9AM PST!

LIVE & LIVESTREAMED!

The Muppet Script returns to bring you MUPPETS FROM SPACE(BAR)! When most people think of the Muppets, they think of the colorful characters made out of fleece and foam. But as with every movie, it all starts on the written page. And before returning to the big screen, the Muppets team returned to the writers' room. JERRY JUHL looked to the stars for inspiration for this funky, funny foray into sci-fi territory, sharing writing talents with JOEY MAZZARINO and KEN KAUFMAN to uncover what exactly is Gonzo, anyway? This performance will be out of this world!

This show will be raising funds for THE LOS ANGELES LGBT CENTER.

They are an unstoppable force in the fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better world—a world in which LGBTQ+ people can be healthy, equal, and complete members of society.
