"The Muppet Show" is back! Beginning on Friday, February 19, Disney+ will be streaming all five seasons of Jim Henson's iconic variety series. Seasons 4 and 5 have never been released on home entertainment, so this is an amazing treat!
"It's going to be great to welcome back longtime fans, and to give a new generation of fans a chance to see how we got our start, how Miss Piggy became a star and so much more," said Kermit the Frog. "Today, I'm proud to say: ‘It's time to play the music, light the lights and meet the Muppets on Disney Plus tonight!' And as for Statler and Waldorf, the two old guys in the balcony, I can only add: ‘Sorry, guys, but….here we go again."
"The Muppet Show" stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, the Swedish Chef, and more in a groundbreaking twist on the classic variety show, blending original songs, sketch comedy, and guest stars into a prime-time hit for all ages. The series began in 1976 and featured some of Hollywood's brightest stars, including Steve Martin, Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Alice Cooper, Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Gene Kelly, and Mark Hamill.
Disney+ is now your destination for all things Muppet, including "Muppet Treasure Island", which is celebrating its 25th anniversary next month, and new hits like "Muppets Now".
