The world-famous Muppets are returning to Disney+ for a brand new comedy series called The Muppets Mayhem, starring Lilly Singh in the human lead role.
According to the Disney+ announcement, The Muppets Mayhem will take audiences on "a music-filled journey" as The Electric Mayhem Band swaps the stage for the studio to record their first-ever album with the support of a young music executive named Nora (Lilly Singh) who will manage and wrangle all of the mayhem that comes from working with the group.
The old-school Muppet band will take the spotlight in the new series, with Dr. Teeth heading up the group's vocals and keyboards, Animal taking to the drums, Floyd Pepper on vocals and bass, Janice on vocals and lead guitar, Zoot on saxophone, and Lips on trumpet, as they rock 'n' roll their way through the current day music scene in a quest to try and 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 Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg developed the series with Bill Barretta and Jeff Yorkes based on characters created by Jim Henson. Goldberg and Barretta are executive producers, with Yorkes co-executive producing. Michael Bostick and Kris Eber also executive produce alongside David Lightbody and Leigh Slaughter of The Muppets Studio.
