'Muppets Now' Proves Its Time for a Full 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Crossover

The Muppets are back! Muppets Now is a new Disney+ original that features Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and the rest like you’ve never seen them before. This time around, the Muppets are hosting their own unscripted segments, the kind of which you’re used to streaming online. There are lifestyle tips from Miss Piggy, science tricks with Bunsen and Beaker, and some expert culinary advice from Swedish Chef (if you have a translator handy). That’s not all, either! Pepe’s got a game show, Kermit interviews RuPaul, Walter picks up some new hobbies—it’s a madcap mix of Muppet content!

Muppets Now is just the latest in a very, very long line of hilarious Muppet shows and movies. And with Muppets on your mind now more than ever, you probably want to stream some of the gang’s old hits. You’re in luck! The majority of their catalogue can be found on Muppets Now’s streaming home—but you don’t have to have a Disney+ account to rock out with the Electric Mayhem. Here’s your streaming guide for all things Muppet

There are two feature films noticeably missing from Disney+’s lineup. Fortunately for Muppet-obsessed streamers, you can find those two feature films on a couple of platforms where they are streaming for free (if you’re cool with watching some ads).

If you’re firmly anti-streaming, first: how? Second: you can still purchase or rent all of the above movies and TV shows (except for the brand new Muppets Now, of course) digitally at your preferred VOD storefront. And in addition to everything above, there are three made-for-TV films that are only available to rent or purchase. They are:

It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002) – iTunes, Prime Video, etc.
The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz (2005) – iTunes, Prime Video, etc.

Muppet movies and TV shows unavailable to stream, purchase, or rent digitally

There’s a lot of Muppet content out there, and while it seems like a lot of it is available to stream or buy on VOD, there are still a few major titles that you can’t find anywhere. Why? In the case of The Muppet Show and presumably Muppets Tonight, it probably has to do with all the contractual issues involving appearances from a variety of celebrities. And with the original Muppet Babies, it’s most likely due to that show’s frequent use of movie clips. And with the heartwarming Muppet Family Christmas, it’s the rights to Christmas carols as well as the fractured Jim Henson character rights probably keeping it unavailable to purchase.

The Muppet Show (1976-1981)
Muppet Babies (1984-1990)
Muppets Tonight (1996-1998)
