The Muppets Mayhem promises an exciting escapade for Disney fans

The official trailer for the series was released on April 11, 2023, and it depicts exactly what the name of the show suggests, i.e., 'mayhem.'

The trailer takes us back to the evergreen days of the Muppet Universe when Dr. Teeth and Electric Mayhem were widely popular for their songs and how they managed to influence the celebrities of today. They were the stars of the '80s and achieved almost everything in their musical careers, except obviously they never recorded an album together for which they blame the crazy life they led in the '80s.

The Muppets Mayhem trailer further acquaints us with Nora, played by Lilly Singh, a junior A&R executive at Blackstown Records who takes up the initiative of helping the forgotten stars record an album. However, the task may not be as easy as she thought it would be. The band, used to their old-school ways is shown having a hard time with the new music genre and instruments.

In another hilarious snippet from The Muppets Mayhem, the band is also seen experimenting with the DJ music genre with the help of the much-famed DJ Zedd. The show promises to hit it out of the park with its unique storyline and surprise cameos from celebrities. It has already managed to create a huge fanbase by releasing a single from the band during the D23 Expo 2022, namely, Can You Picture That?

The Muppets, throughout history, have been praised for their songs, their jokes, their fashion, their love, their sweetness, and their charm, and The Muppets Mayhem promises to continue that legacy. The show premieres this Wednesday and fans can't wait to see how it manages to venture into more fun and insightful storylines with their favorite characters going forward.
