Emmy-Winning Muppet Show Special Awaits Disney+ Series Decision

The Muppet Show special won Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special at the 78th Creative Arts Emmys on 5–6 September 2026. Conceived as a backdoor pilot — a standalone that, if successful, spawns a full series — it has not yet received a series order from Disney+. Produced by 20th Television, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures.
