Don't Expect Much Rizzo in Muppets Haunted Mansion!

Many fans have been wondering what place Rizzo has in upcoming productions since Steve Whitmire is no longer with The Mupppets. Sadly, it looks like Rizzo will  still be mainly a silent and background character for a while.

 As part of a recent series of questions, Matt Mitovich of TVLine was asked specifically if Rizzo would appear in Muppets Haunted Mansion.

I’m so looking forward to Muppets Haunted Mansion on Disney+ (out in October)! But is there any word of Rizzo the Rat being involved? The character hasn’t been seen in anything other than Muppet Babies in recent years, and he seems like he would be perfect for this special. – Dave

See, now this is the sort of unusual question I live for! So I asked around, and I can confirm that eagle-eyed viewers may catch a glimpse of Rizzo during a spooktacular, show-stopping musical number.

So there you have it, don't expect much Rizzo in Muppets Haunted Mansion except for a "glimpse" in a "show-stopping musical number."

Muppets Haunted Mansion will be released exclusively on Disney+ this fall.
