The Muppets return to the small screen with The Muppets Mayhem. But instead of delivering a variety of sketch comedy, they will be busy working on their first-ever studio album this time.
The Muppets Mayhem will see the Electric Mayhem band, led by Dr. Teeth on vocals and keyboards, on an epic musical journey. With the help of the young music executive Nora Singh (Lilly Singh), the group is ready to take on the modern music scene.
The Muppet Show House Band in The Muppets Mayhem
The Electric Mayhem has been The Muppet Show's house band and the franchise's staple since the original series debuted in 1976.
The group is composed of Dr. Teeth on piano and vocals; Janice on lead guitar; Floyd on bass; Zoot on sax; and Animal on drums.
But despite being a band for decades, they haven't done real music yet. Thankfully, this is about to change in the upcoming The Muppets Mayhem on Disney+.

"She's a little late to the game because she spent most of her upbringing taking care of her young sister, but now she thinks it's time for her to chase her dreams," she explained. "Problem is she doesn't know what she's doing or have major connections, so she has to fake it until she makes it."
The Best Post-Jim Henson The Muppet Show
According to The Los Angeles Times, The Muppets Mayhem could be dubbed as the best post-Jim Henson The Muppet Show.
Though it doesn't feature the usual headliners, it explores fresh territory while maintaining a perfect "mix of satire, slapstick, silliness, subtlety, and sentiment."
