First Look Photos From the Disney+ Series THE MUPPETS MAYHEM All About Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
A few first look photos have been released from the upcoming series The Muppets Mayhem, all about the Muppet band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Co-created by Muppets veteran Bill Barretta and college friends Jeff Yorkes and Adam F. Goldberg, who also wrote the screenplay for The Muppets Wizard of Oz, the series seeks to open a new avenue for a relationship between Disney+ and the Muppets.
The Muppets Mayhem centers on Nora (Lilly Singh), an aspiring record producer, who with the help of her social media influencer sister, Hannah (Saara Chaudry), and Electric Mayhem super-fan, Gary "Moog" Moogowski (Tahj Mowry), embark on helping the band record their first-ever album.
The idea for a series centered on the band began in perhaps an unexpected place when it comes to the Muppets — the Outside Lands music festival. In 2016, The Electric Mayhem played a set there, sparking Bill Barretta to wonder what possibilities the characters might have for further storytelling.
Barretta explained:
"It was unbelievable. It was ... one of the most amazing experiences I've had with the Muppets. There was something like 30,000 people that came to the park. I thought, 'Well, there's something there.' What if this band went on the road? What if the band went on tour? And so, I started developing an idea for a show about the band because we don't know that much about them."
The series promises lots of fun surprise cameos, as is always the case with the Muppets. But don't necessarily expect your favorite Muppet to pop up. Goldberg explained:
"We are telling a regular story in the real world with Muppets. So we tried to ground everything and keep it realistic as opposed to all of a sudden there's talking fruit in your fridge."
This sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun for all of us Muppets fans! Check out all the new photos and let us know if you’re looking forward to The Muppets Mayhem.
