Seth Rogen’s New Revival Of Iconic 50-Year-Old Series Is Now A Worldwide Streaming Sensation

by

Seth Rogen is starring in a reboot of a beloved TV show from the 1970s, and it’s become popular worldwide. Rogen is a very active figure in Hollywood, consistently appearing in and working behind the scenes on numerous successful projects – he’s proven to be a hit both on screen and as a producer.

Apple TV+’s The Studio has quickly become a standout success for Seth Rogen. The comedy series, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood, was a streaming hit and earned numerous award nominations and wins in its first season. Now, Rogen is involved in another popular TV show, bringing back a beloved classic with a star-studded cast.

As a critic, I’m not surprised to hear that the new Muppet Show special is a huge hit! According to FlixPatrol, it’s trending globally on Disney+. Released on both Disney+ and ABC on February 4th, 2026, this comedy special is clearly resonating with audiences – it’s currently a top title in 26 countries! And it’s a lovely way to mark the 50th anniversary of the original Muppet Show, which first premiered way back on September 5th, 1976. A true celebration of a classic!

Disney+’s The Muppet Show is a huge hit, topping the charts in 20 out of 26 countries where it’s popular. This demonstrates how beloved the Muppets continue to be across generations. The show, featuring Seth Rogen, is currently the most-watched program on Disney+ in countries like Australia, Belgium, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and numerous others.

As of today, the 2026 Muppet Show revival hasn’t yet made it into Disney+’s list of the ten most popular shows worldwide. But given that the new special is already the #1 show in 20 countries, it’s likely to climb the charts soon. Currently, the top three most-watched shows on Disney+ globally are Wonder Man, Tell Me Lies, and The Beauty.

The latest Muppets special delivers the classic characters fans love – Miss Piggy, Pepe the King Prawn, Gonzo, and others – with Kermit the Frog leading the way as both host and the person in charge. The special, set to air in 2026, could potentially pave the way for a full revival of The Muppet Show, acting as a test run to see if audiences respond well.

Based on how well the special is doing on Disney+, it’s likely these characters will appear in future installments. The special features Seth Rogen – who also helped produce it – along with stars like Sabrina Carpenter and Maya Rudolph. You can currently stream the 2026 version of The Muppet Show on Disney+ in the US.
