Disney+ orders The Muppets Mayhem series featuring The Electric Mayhem Band

March 8, 2022 by Ricky Church

Get ready for some Muppet rock n’ roll as The Muppets‘ very own Electric Mayhem Band are getting their own series. Disney+ has ordered The Muppets Mayhem which will see the band try to record their first album in the modern age of music with Lilly Singh (Dollface) starring as the human lead.

The Muppets Mayhem has been developed and written by The Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg alongside Muppets veteran Bill Barretta and Jeff Yorkes. The series is set to follow “The Electric Mayhem Band as they go on an epic musical journey to finally record their first studio album. Singh will play the (human) lead role of Nora, a driven junior A&R executive tasked with managing and wrangling the mayhem that is The Electric Mayhem Band. With the help of Nora, the old-school Muppet band comes face to face with the current-day music scene as they try to finally go platinum.”

The Electric Mayhem Band consists of Muppet characters Dr. Teeth (Barretta) on vocals and keyboards, Animal (Eric Jacobson) on drums, Floyd Pepper (Matt Vogel) on vocals and bass, Janice (David Rudman) on vocals and lead guitar, Zoot (Dave Goelz) on saxophone and Lips (Peter Linz) on trumpet.

Goldberg and Barretta will executive produce with Michael Bostick and Kris Eber while Yorkes is a co-executive producer. The Muppets Studio’s David Lightbody and Leigh Slaughter will also executive produce.

“The Muppets are renowned for quality, creativity and unrivaled, fun storytelling for the whole family,” said Ayo Davis, president of 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.”

“Adam F. Goldberg is our resident Muppet enthusiast at Signature and getting to play in the sandbox with Bill, a longtime Muppet performer, as well as these beloved characters was a dream come true for him, Bill and Jeff,” said ABC Signature’s President Jonnie Davis. “Their take is fresh, fun, musical and of course, hilarious. We couldn’t be happier to be the studio that is helping them get the band back together.”

“We are so excited to bring the story of The Electric Mayhem Band to the front and center of this new series,” said David Lightbody, executive producer and SVP of Disney Live Entertainment and The Muppets Studio. “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.”
