Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she and Emma Stone are developing a movie about the iconic Muppet with Oh, Mary! sensation Cole Escola penning the script, marking the character’s first solo outing since Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.

“I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just going to,” she prefaced on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers’ Las Culturistas podcast. “Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it.”

When asked if she and Stone will appear in the movie, Lawrence said, “I think so, we have to.”

Lawrence did not reveal any plot details. Deadline has reached out to Disney and Jim Henson Co.

Starting as a chorus pig on The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy gradually became a bigger part of the series, before becoming an icon in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Despite Kermit being the star, she’s long hogged the spotlight from her froggy beau.

Recently marking their milestone 70th birthday, The Muppets have had a year of celebrations leading up to the news last month that The Muppet Show is getting a refresh from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures. Deadline reported that Disney+ has ordered a TV event featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter to premiere in 2026, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the classic original series.
