In a surprise for Muppet fans, a new Miss Piggy movie is in development, with Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone producing and Cole Escola penning the script. The announcement, which dropped during Lawrence’s appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast with hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, has sparked excitement and curiosity about what this project will bring to the big screen. With such a talented trio behind it, this film promises to be a glamorous, hilarious, and perhaps fabulously chaotic celebration of the iconic Muppet diva.
On the November 5, 2025, episode of Las Culturistas, Jennifer Lawrence casually let slip the bombshell: “I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just going to. Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie, and Cole [Escola] is writing it.” When asked if she and Stone would star in the film, Lawrence replied with a playful, “I think so, we have to,” hinting at the possibility of seeing these two powerhouse actresses sharing the screen with the Muppet legend herself.
While Lawrence didn’t dive into specifics about the plot or production timeline, the involvement of such high-profile names suggests this project is poised to be a major cinematic event. The combination of Lawrence and Stone’s star power and Escola’s razor-sharp wit sets the stage for a film that could reintroduce Miss Piggy to a new generation while honoring her storied legacy.
