Based on the characters created by Jim Henson, The Muppets Mayhem is developed, written, and executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg, Bill Barretta, and Jeff Yorkes.

“After 45 years of rockin’ out, The Electric Mayhem goes on an epic musical journey to finally record their first studio album,” reads the synopsis. “With the help of a driven young music executive, Nora, the old-school Muppet band comes face to face with the current day music scene as they try to finally go platinum.”

The series will also feature guest-star appearances from Paula Abdul, Ryan Seacrest, Nicole Byer, Sofia Carson, Riki Lindhome, Cheech Martin, Ben Schwartz, Danny Trejo, Weird Al, and more. It is produced by ABC Signature and The Muppets Studio. Executive producers are Michael Bostick and Kris Eber along with The Muppets Studio’s David Lightbody and Leigh Slaughter.

The Electric Mayhem debuted in the first episode of 1975’s The Muppet Show. The band is comprised of six Muppets: Dr. Teeth on vocals and keyboards, Floyd Pepper on vocals and bass, Animal on drums, Janice on vocals and lead guitar, Zoot on Saxophone, and Lips on trumpet.
