The Muppet Show Coming to Disney+!

It’s time to play the music, it's time to light the light, it's time to meet the Muppets on Disney+ ... soon!


At long last Disney has made our wishes come true, The Muppet Show is coming to Disney+.
Last week The Muppets posted this very cryptic message on social media: 



Many fans hoped that this meant the classic series would finally arriving on the Disney's streaming service, and today they made it official!



As part of the announcement Leigh Slaughter, Leigh Slaughter, Vice President of The Muppets Studio and Characters Strategy, Disney Live Entertainment posted this articlewhich includes some interesting info like "the Muppets have been a part of Walt Disney Imagineering for the last couple of years." Imagineering sounds like a step up from consumer products, which is where our fuzzy friends resided for their first few years under the mouse.

Below is the teaser announcement: 


You'll notice that the announcement states that all 5 seasons of the show are coming - that means even season 4 and 5 which never made to DVD will be included as well.

What we don't know yet is whether these will be complete and uncut or if certain songs will be omitted for copyright reasons.

We'll all find out together when The Muppet Show starts streaming February 19 on Disney+.
