Disney+ February 2026 Lineup: The Muppet Show Revival Leads a Month of Family Favorites, New Premieres and Nostalgia

Disney+ has unveiled its packed February 2026 slate, headlined by the triumphant return of The Muppet Show as a brand‑new special event starring Sabrina Carpenter, alongside family animation, documentaries, and Hulu originals for bundle subscribers.

The Muppet Show Special: Chaos Returns to the Muppet Theatre

The month's biggest premiere arrives February 4 with The Muppet Show, a Disney+ Original special event that brings Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and the full Muppet ensemble back to the original Muppet Theatre for music, comedy, and "a whole lot of chaos."

Grammy‑winning pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter stars as the special guest, with Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph also featured (Rogen and Carpenter serve as executive producers). Directed by Alex Timbers, the special airs simultaneously on Disney+ (12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET) and ABC (9:00 p.m. ET/PT).

Teaser trailers show Kermit flipping on the theater lights and setting down his coffee cup, promising the classic variety show format fans loved from the 1970s–1980s series. Early reviews call it "the best the Muppets have been in 50 years," capturing the old magic with fresh energy. Muppet Wiki and Disney Tourist Blog highlight its significance as the first new Muppet Show installment in decades.

Why February 2026 Stands Out for Disney+ Fans

This lineup blends nostalgia (Muppets revival, Sofia the First, Hannah Montana marathon) with family animation (Miraculous, RoboGobo) and bold docs (CIA, Ancient Autopsy), plus Hulu crossovers for bundle users. The Muppet Show special is the marquee event, promising to draw both legacy fans and Carpenter's Gen Z audience, while the diverse premieres keep the month fresh amid Disney's streaming profitability push.

Expect trailers and first‑looks to ramp up as February 4 approaches—mark your calendars for Muppet mayhem!
