For 45 years the greatest rock band in history (Muppet version) has gone unrecorded. Now, one new Disney Plus show is brave enough to give them the chance at true rock ’n’ roll stardom.
The Muppets Mayhem will span 10 whole episodes and track The Electric Mayhem Band — who, as you’ll surely remember, is made up of 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 their exploration of the modern music industry.
Their journey is helped by Nora Singh (played by Lily Singh), a young music executive driven to help the old-school band come to terms with the current-day music scene and record their album.
