On the 50th anniversary of Jim Henson’s show, the Muppets — with a boost from guest star Sabrina Carpenter — pick up exactly where they left off.

It's time to raise the curtain on "The Muppet Show," a highly-anticipated special event featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter and Executive Producer and guest star Seth Rogen. Maya Rudolph has also been announced as a guest star.

The one-off special features fan favourites Kermit and Miss Piggy, with guest stars Sabrina Carpenter and Seth Rogen.

This isn't the first reincarnation of Jim Henson's crew, but it's one of the best in a very long time. Seth Rogen is an executive producer, and Maya Rudolph and Sabrina Carpenter guest star.

While the first season of The Muppet Show was a success, it was hard to get guest stars to appear. It wasn't until ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev made an appearance in the second season — who was well-beloved at that time — that other major stars began to want to guest star on the show.

Director Alex Timbers spoke about helming the Muppet special that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the show and the return of Rizzo and Bean Bunny.
