While fans know all about Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, the Muppets also has a supporting cast of band members called Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The band is actually set to have their own show on Disney+, and we have a new star-studded trailer for The Muppets Mayhem.
Check this out:
Here’s the series synopsis:
The Muppets Mayhem follows The Electric Mayhem Band — 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 — on an epic, music-filled journey to record their first-ever studio album. With the help of a driven young music executive, Nora Singh, the old-school Muppet band comes face-to-face with the current day music scene as they try to finally record their first studio album.
Though Electric Mayhem may be in the spotlight, the trailer shows off a lot of celebrity cameos that will be in the series, with appearances from Weird Al Yankovic, Rachel Bloom, Ben Schwartz, Kevin Smith, Tommy Lee, Paula Abdul, Lil Nas X, and more. I guess it stays pretty close to the actual Muppets series when it first came out, with celebrity cameos and silly comedy.
I’ll admit, the Muppets franchise has kind of been dependent on the popularity of characters like Kermit, but it’s interesting to have a series based on prominent side characters.
Catch The Muppets Mayhem when it hits Disney+ on May 10.
