- Four days ago, The Muppets Twitter account along with the personal Muppet accounts had been teasing an announcement coming soon. Rumors spread through the internet of what it could be, but today we got the official reveal, and being able to watch all season of The Muppet Show is a pretty big deal!

What They’re Saying:
- Kermit the Frog: "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. 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.”
