Disney+ will revisit the Muppets franchise next month.
The streaming service announced today that the highly anticipated original series The Muppets Mayhem is set to premiere on Wednesday, May 10.
Instead of the weekly release adopted by other series on Disney+, The Muppets Mayhem will launch with all episodes on the date.
The Muppeys 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 (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,” the logline teases.
The Muppets Mayhem stars Lilly Singh (A Little Late with Lilly Singh) as Nora, Tahj Mowry (Baby Daddy) as Moog, Saara Chaudry (The Mysterious Benedict Society) as Hannah, and Bill Barretta as Dr. Teeth.
The cast is rounded out by Dave Goelz as Zoot, Eric Jacobson as Animal, Peter Linz as Lips, David Rudman as Janice, Matt Vogel as Floyd Pepper, and recurring guest star Anders Holm (Workaholics) as JJ.
Based on characters created by Jim Henson, the series is developed and written by executive producers Adam F. Goldberg (The Goldbergs), Bill Barretta (The Muppets, Muppets Haunted Mansion), and co-executive producer Jeff Yorkes.
Michael Bostick, Kris Eber, and The Muppets Studio’s David Lightbody and Leigh Slaughter also serve as executive producers.
Original music by executive music producer and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry.
The official trailer introduces us to a different era of The Muppets universe, and it looks like a lot of fun.
