The series was created by Jim Henson and aired from 1976 until 1981 on CBS, according to Variety. Disney acquired rights to the Muppets in 2004.

“It’s going to be great to welcome back longtime fans, and to give a new generation of fans a chance to see how we got our start, how Miss Piggy became a star and so much more,” said Kermit in a statement. “And as for Statler and Waldorf… I can only add: ‘Sorry, guys, but… here we go again.'”

Viewers can expect to see Kermit and Miss Piggy, along with Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, the Swedish Chef, Sam the Eagle, Statler and Waldorf, Animal, Gonzo and more.

Long-time fans of the show/Muppet crew have shared their excitement of this news as soon as it was announced on Tuesday.
