Get ready for more Muppets madness – and an album you didn’t know you needed. Disney+ just announced The Muppets Mayhem, a new music-filled comedy series.
The Muppets Mayhem will follow the adventures of The Electric Mayhem Band as the group records its first ever album. The band includes Dr. Teeth on vocals and keyboards, Animal on drums, Floyd Pepper on vocals and bass, Janice on vocals and lead guitar, Zoot on saxophone, and Lips on trumpet.
In addition to the Muppet band members, the series also stars Lilly Singh as Nora. Nora is the junior A&R executive tasked with managing and wrangling the band’s mayhem.
Adam F. Goldberg, Bill Barretta, and Jeff Yorkes developed the series based on the Jim Henson characters.
“The Muppets are renowned for quality, creativity and unrivaled, fun storytelling for the whole family,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “We are thrilled to have Adam, Bill and Jeff at the helm to bring all of these iconic and great new characters to life in fresh and dynamic ways.”
Here’s the official synopsis for The Muppets Mayhem:
After 45 years of rockin’ out, The Electric Mayhem goes on an epic musical journey to finally record their first studio album. With the help of a driven young music executive, Nora, the old-school Muppet band comes face to face with the current day music scene as they try to finally go platinum.
“We are so excited to bring the story of The Electric Mayhem Band to the front and center of this new series. They’ve been entertaining audiences since ‘The Muppet Show,’ which debuted 45 years ago, so it’s wonderful that these characters are finally getting to play lead rather than supporting roles,” said David Lightbody, executive producer and senior vice president of Disney Live Entertainment and The Muppets Studio.
The Muppets Mayhem does not yet have a release date. However, fans can get their Muppets fix on Disney+ now with hits like Muppets Now and Muppets Haunted Mansion.
