Sabrina Carpenter just released her new album Man’s Best Friend and was revealed as a headliner for next year's Coachella. She's been dominating pop music for the past couple years, but now she's getting ready to return to acting for a revival of The Muppet Show.
Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the classic variety show, which ran from 1976 to 1981. To celebrate, Seth Rogen is bringing it back with a special on Disney+ that may serve as a pilot for a new season (per The Hollywood Reporter). Carpenter will not just star in the project but also executive produce alongside Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, and Alex McAtee, who are exec-producing for Point Grey Pictures, and David Lightbody, Leigh Slaughter, and Michael Steinbach, exec-producing for the Muppets Studio. The event will film in Los Angeles.
On social media, Disney+ shared:
