Sabrina Carpenter has joined forces with one of television’s most famous characters for the return of The Muppet Show. The pop singer appears alongside Miss Piggy in a newly released Show special teaser, which has already caught wide attention online.
The Show special teaser first aired during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. It offered viewers a brief but playful look at what to expect from the upcoming television special. Sabrina Carpenter is seen fully embracing the fun atmosphere, sharing the screen with Miss Piggy and other beloved Muppets.
In the teaser, Carpenter and Miss Piggy wear matching outfits and take part in lighthearted moments. One highlight shows Sabrina calling Miss Piggy an “icon.” Miss Piggy responds confidently, staying true to her larger-than-life personality. The exchange reflects the classic humor fans expect from The Muppet Show.
This Show special teaser also connects to a moment earlier this year. During the final stop of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour in Los Angeles, Miss Piggy made a surprise appearance. The singer jokingly “arrested” the Muppet on stage as part of a comedy skit. That moment quickly went viral on social media.
At the concert, Sabrina praised the crowd and then turned her attention to Miss Piggy and Bobo the Bear. She joked about recognizing Miss Piggy instantly and asked if she was enjoying the show. Miss Piggy replied that she loved it but had “a few notes,” adding humor to the scene. Bobo the Bear then escorted Miss Piggy away in handcuffs, drawing laughter from fans.
The new teaser builds on that playful chemistry. It shows Carpenter fitting naturally into the Muppets’ world. Industry observers note that celebrity appearances have always been a key part of The Muppet Show’s success. This return aims to blend nostalgia with modern pop culture.
The upcoming special will feature musical moments, comedy sketches, and guest appearances. While full details remain limited, the teaser suggests a mix of classic Muppet humor and fresh energy. Fans of both Sabrina Carpenter and The Muppets have reacted positively online.
The Muppet Show special is set to premiere on ABC and Disney+ on Wednesday, February 4. With the release of the Show special teaser, anticipation continues to grow ahead of its debut.
