Muppets Halloween Special Is Coming To Disney Plus This Fall

A Muppets Halloween special is set to premiere on Disney+ later this year. The special is titled Muppets Haunted Mansion and it'll hit the service in the fall.

The announcement of Muppets Haunted Mansion comes via a new video featuring Gonzo and Pepe the King Prawn. Gonzo describes the show as an "all new terrifying tale of total scariness" which will deliver "your most hilarious and harrowing Halloween ever." Gonzo also possesses the ability to produce bolts of lightning, something Pepe is not happy about. Check it out below:

According to Disney, Muppets Haunted Mansion takes place on Halloween, when Gonzo is challenged to spend the night in the terrifying house of the title. The special will feature "a star-studded Muppets cast, celebrity cameos, all-new music and spooky fun for families to enjoy together." Although the special doesn't have a confirmed date yet, it's likely we'll see it in October.

The most recent Muppet series is Muppets Now, which hit Disney+ in July last year. In addition, all five seasons of the original Muppet Show, which ran from 1976 to 1981, arrived on Disney+ in February this year. However, several of the episodes were given disclaimers about their potentially offensive content, while two were heavily edited.

The Muppets isn't the only Disney property getting its own themed special. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will arrive in 2022 and will be written and directed by Guardians movie director James Gunn.
