One of the most popular Super Bowl Lix commercials featured The Muppets in an ad for Booking.com. Despite airing late in the fourth quarter when the game was already decided, the commercial had fans talking and the consensus was, the beloved franchise needs to return, and it needs to be done right.

As with many Super Bowl Lix commercials, the one featuring The Muppets debuted about nine to ten days before the big game. As of this writing, it has garnered 93 million views and there is an overall feeling of nostalgia attached to seeing Jim Henson's famous creations again, even if it's a 30-second commercial for a travel booking website.

One fan said it best on X, formerly Twitter (via ComicBook):

"The Muppets doing a Super Bowl ad and yet Still no news of a new Muppets film in the works [is where we have] gone wrong as a nation."

While another made an interesting point,...

In the 1990s, the Muppets began a trend that, sadly, was interrupted. In 1992, the troupe of puppets starred in "The Muppet Christmas Carol," which cast Muppet players as characters in Charles Dickens' immortal Christmas story. The Muppets followed that with the excellent "Muppet Treasure Island" in 1996, which took a similar tack; the Muppets were mere actors putting on their own modern production of a literary classic. This was a clever use of the Muppets, and there was every reason to believe they would continue with high-end literary adaptations.

Sadly, the trend ended in 1999 with the release of the lackluster "Muppets from Space," the troupe's last theatrical feature film for 12 years.

In the intervening span, though, there was one additional visit to the world of literature. In 2005, ABC aired the TV movie "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz," starring Ashanti as Dorothy Gale. Kermit the Frog played the Scarecrow, Gonzo played the Tin Woodman,...

The Wizard of Oz has seen many iterations on the big screen, ranging from Oz the Great and Powerful to the recent movie musical Wicked. Each one has brought its own unique spin to the timeless story. One strange version was made by one of the biggest names in show business, the comedy puppet group known as The Muppets.

The Muppets' Wizard of Oz was the last of The Muppets' famous movie adaptations of classic novels. The film was made for TV and released on the ABC network in 2005. The Muppets' Wizard of Oz is filled with many wild changes to The Wizard of Oz story, some funny and some strange, such as the cameo from intense director Quentin Tarantino.

The Property Masters Guild (Pmg) announced the winners of the inaugural Pmg MacGuffin Awards, which is the only awards show to date celebrating the significant artistic achievements of Property Masters. The Motion Picture MacGuffin Awards were presented to “Oppenheimer”, “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part 1” (David Cheesman) and “Poor Things” (Balázs M. Kovács).

Winners in the Television Series included “The Bear”, “Lessons in Chemistry”, “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”, “That ‘90s Show”, “Perry Mason”, “The Last of Us” (Justin Onofriechuk) and “A Black Lady Sketch Show”.

Russell Bobbitt, the Property Master behind Marvel Studios films such as the “Iron Man” franchise, “Captain America” franchise and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, earned the Hill Valley Humanitarian Award. He was recognized for “his outstanding philanthropic efforts and dedication to using his talents and resources to make a difference in the lives of those in need, including providing unique hands-on Marvel prop experiences for youth encountering debilitating health challenges.

Frank Oz’s illustrious career will be celebrated by the Museum of the Moving Image with screening series “The Magic of Oz: A Frank Oz Retrospective.”

All 15 films Oz directed will screen, ranging from “Little Shop of Horrors” to “The Muppets Take Manhattan” to “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “Bowfinger.” Oz’s acting roles in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Inside Out,” plus his character creations for “Sesame Street” and “The Muppet Show,” will also be part of the lineup. The series will take place from October 4 to November 30.

“Frank Oz has been a revered and adored artist for generations, yet I’d argue he’s under-appreciated for his filmmaking, which he’s dedicated the past 40 years to,” curator of film Eric Hynes said.

“From the beginning he defied expectations, starting with his now-classic homage to the Hollywood studio musical and B-movie creature feature, ‘Little Shop of Horrors,’ and continuing through...

HBO/Max’s Sesame Street, Disney+’s The Muppets Mayhem and Jack Black were among the winners at the second annual Children’ &’s and Family Emmy Awards, which were handed out Sunday night by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

Among its wins, Sesame Street (in its 56th season) was named best preschool series, while The Muppets Mayhem — which was canceled last month after airing only one season — was named best children’s or family viewing series.

Black, meanwhile, won his first-ever Emmy for best voice performance in a children’s or young teen program for his work as Po on Netflix’s Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight.

An excited Black took the stage to accept his award, giving a high kick and belting out “Kung Fu Panda, the dragon knight!”

“I’m really nervous and stoked to be here,” he added, noting that he was cast in the role 20 years ago.

The Muppets Mayhem is having their big break cut short. Per Deadline, Disney+ has cancelled the musical comedy series after one season of ten episodes. Based on Jim Henson's characters, Adam F. Goldberg co-created the series with Bill Barretta and Jeff Yorkes.

Starring Lilly Singh, Tahj Mowry, and Saara Chaudry, the series follows Electric Mayhem as they work on their first album. The band was brought to life by Barretta, Eric Jacobson, Matt Vogel, David Rudman, Dave Goelz, and Peter Linz.

The new Muppets show is the latest in a string of cancellations at Disney+ as the streamer cuts back on original programming.

It’s a tough time to work in the TV and Film industry right now. With cancellations coming left right and centre, and still relatively few new shows announced after the conclusion of the writers and actors strikes, it looks like streamers might be looking at some of their existing programming and wondering how on earth it’s supposed to turn a profit.

The latest casualty of these tightening purse strings is The Muppets Mayhem, which won’t be renewed by Disney+ after its first season aired in May this year.

It follows Disney+ original shows National Treasure, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., Willow, Big Shot and Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, all of which have been axed this year. The Spiderwick Chronicles, an upcoming adaptation of the fantasy novels...

Disney+ has cancelled The Muppets Mayhem after season 1, ending potential plans for a Muppetverse on the platform. The show received generally positive reviews, but its success on the streaming platform was unclear. The cancellation also means that creator Adam F. Goldberg's plans for a Muppet franchise similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been dashed.

The Muppets Mayhem has been cancelled after season 1 on Disney+, ending plans for a potential Muppetverse on the platform. The series follows junior executive Nora Singh at a record label where she must help Muppet band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem record their first album. The show was met with generally positive reviews, though it was unclear how successful it was on the streaming platform.

As beloved as The Muppets are, they can’t seem to catch a break on Disney+. It was reported today that The Muppets Mayhem has been canceled by the streaming service after one season.

Developed and written by The Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg, Bill Barretta, and Jeff Yorkes, 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 (Lilly 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.“

Disney+ never revealed the ratings for The Muppets Mayhem, but it’s clear they weren’t quite what the studio had hoped.

The Disney+ series "The Muppets Mayhem" has been officially canceled by the streaming platform after one season. Despite the cancellation, the creators and cast of the show expressed gratitude to fans and hinted at more Muppets content in the future. This marks the second Muppets series on Disney+ to be canceled after one season, following "Muppets Now."

The return tour has ended for the Electric Mayhem, as the Disney+ series The Muppets Mayhem has come to an end.

The first season of The Muppets Mayhem, which followed Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, first premiered on Disney+ in May 2023. While the series was well-received by critics and viewers, but it seems that the show may not have pulled in the levels of viewership that Disney had been hoping for.

There won’t be an encore for The Muppets Mayhem at Disney+.

The streamer has canceled the music-infused comedy, which centered on members of the Muppets house band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. The show lasted just one season; all 10 episodes debuted in May.

As is usually the case with streaming series, Disney did not disclose any viewing information for The Muppets Mayhem. The series has not charted on Nielsen’s top 10 streaming rankings.

Lilly Singh headed the show’s human cast as a young music executive helping the Electric Mayhem record their first studio album. Tahj Mowry, Saara Chaudry and Anders Holm also starred, along with Muppets performers Matt Vogel, Bill Barretta, Peter Linz, Dave Goelz, David Rudman and Eric Jacobson.

“The Muppets Mayhem” has been canceled after just one season at Disney+, Variety has learned.

The series was originally ordered at Disney+ in early 2022 and debuted on the streamer in May 2023. The cast of the series included Lily Singh, Tahj Mowry, Saara Chaudry, and Anders Holm.

The Electric Mayhem Band is breaking up after Disney+ canceled its latest Muppets show.

The streamer has axed live-action series The Muppets Mayhem, which comes from The Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg, after one season.

The ten-part series was released in May but Disney+ never disclosed any ratings for the show.

The cancellation marks a blow for plans for a wider Muppetverse; Goldberg previously expressed interest in branching out using the classic IP, which includes some of Disney’s most recognizable characters.

It is the latest cancelation at Disney+ this year; other shows to have been axed include The Spiderwick Chronicles, which has since been shopped to Roku, National Treasure, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., Willow, Big Shot and Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.

It's true: "The Muppets Take Manhattan" is getting a fresh coat of paint for its new release on home media courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The third "Muppets" feature film and, sadly, the last one that creator Jim Henson and puppeteer Richard Hunt worked on prior to their untimely deaths, "Manhattan" sees Kermit and the gang graduating from college and headed to New York City in the hopes of turning their humble little stage musical, "Manhattan Melodies," into a Broadway sensation. But as you might expect, the suits that run the theatrical industry aren't quite as enthused about the prospect of a show all about frogs and dogs and bears and chickens and ... stuff.

The Disney+ series The Muppets Mayhem follows The Electric Mayhem – made up of Dr. Teeth, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Zoot, Lips and Animal – on their journey to finally recording their first-ever studio album, with help and guidance from Nora (Lilly Singh), a driven but underappreciated music executive at their record label. Since making their debut as the house band for The Muppet Show, they’ve won over the hearts of adoring fans everywhere, from super fan Moog (Tahj Mowry) to a wide variety of music superstars from every genre, and they will undoubtedly continue to do so, one music track at a time. The series also stars Anders Holm and a slew of recognizable music stars with a range of really fun cameos, and a shout-out to the incredible Muppet performers, Bill Barretta (who co-created the series with Adam F.

“The Muppets Mayhem” is here, with all 10 episodes currently streaming on Disney+. And unlike some Muppets-fronted projects, the humans in the series are just as fun. TheWrap spoke to Lilly Singh, Saara Chaudry and Tahj Mowry about how working with the Muppets impacted them. (Watch the full video above.)

And Singh, a YouTube star, author and former talk show host, says she was transformed by the experience. Singh, who admitted to being very organized and owning several label-makers, said that after making the show, she gained an “understanding” that “fun and joy is a priority for me.”

“I will have a very hard time going to a set if the crew and the energy is not like the Muppets. This is a blessing but I’m nervous going onto any other set,” Singh said. When asked if having fun on set had replaced label making as her No. 1 passion, Singh...

The new ten-episode Disney+ series"The Muppets Mayhem" sees the return of the psychedelic Muppet band The Electric Mayhem as they embark on a rip-roaring adventure to record their debut album. Their fearless bandleader Dr. Teeth is still behind the keys and Animal is still beating his drum kit into submission, with all the rest of the band getting back together to make magic happen once again. The long history of Muppets movies has always been filled with pop culture references and glorified celebrity cameos, but aside from "Muppets Haunted Mansion," they've largely avoided any direct nods to the horror genre. 

That all changed with the seventh episode of the series "Track 7: Eight Days a Week," where an uncredited appearance from director Peter Jackson confirmed one of the most unlikely puppet crossovers in film history. For the sake of your own sanity and to keep wholesome childhood memories intact,...

An episode of The Muppets Mayhem showed that Jim Henson's beloved creations share continuity with Peter Jackson's dark parody Meet the Feebles.

In Mayhem's seventh episode, "Eight Days a Week," A&r executive Nora takes inspiration from The Beatles: Get Back and hires a film crew led by Kevin Smith to record the Electric Mayhem's process as they work on their debut album. In the episode's final moments, Get Back director Sir Peter Jackson arrives at the band's pad to film his own documentary. Floyd mentions the band hasn't seen Jackson since "that night in Wellington when we met the Feebles." Jackson laments that since then, two of the Feebles have gone into witness protection and the rest are in prison.

We filled @Muppets_Mayhem with easter eggs that only the cool kids would appreciate.

All ten episodes of “The Muppets Mayhem“ dropped on Disney+ earlier this week, sending beloved Muppet band, The Electric Mayhem, on a musical journey to record their first album. In true Muppet style, the journey comes with a slew of notable cameos, including a shocking horror crossover we never would’ve anticipated in a million years.

A surprising uncredited cameo by director Peter Jackson confirms that the characters from his raunchy spluppet feature (splatter + puppet), Meet the Feebles, exist within the same world as the Muppets, making for one of horror’s most surprising crossovers.

“Track 7: Eight Days a Week” is the seventh episode of the season, which sees the Muppets’ music exec Nora (Lilly Singh) attempt to create a documentary about the band. Enter director Peter Jackson, playing himself. The Award-winning director is there with a crew, and the band recognizes him instantly.

In a bizarre exchange, Muppet...

“The Muppets Mayhem,” the first streaming series devoted to Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, the most iconic band in the Muppet universe, is finally here. All episodes are streaming on Disney+ right now and, appropriately, they rock. And TheWrap spoke to the Muppet-y stars of the show, which you can watch above.

When TheWrap asked the Electric Mayhem what other bands could benefit by having their singular energy on tour, we got some surprising answers. “I think that Animal could sit in with any band,” Floyd proclaimed, while Animal chimed in: “Harry! Harry!” Janice said that, “Taylor Swift and I would have a totally amazing time together,” which we imagine would be true. And Dr. Teeth noted that, “I’d posolutely love to accompany The Weeknd.” Can you imagine?

It’s always difficult for parents to find entertainment that bridges the gap between kid-friendly and not making you want to bore a hole in your skull with a giant-nailed Drilldo (look it up). In the past few decades, kiddie cartoon purveyors like DreamWorks and Illumination have attempted to bridge the gap by serving up cuddly characters spewing pop culture reference-laden dialogue, penned by Wesleyan grads with a minor coke problem. But the result invariably comes off as slick and cynical: the kids feel bored, the adults pandered to, the...

The recent passing of Harry Belafonte — and the viral proliferation of a clip featuring the iconic singer/actor/activist crooning “Day-o” in front of a boat packed with dancing pigs — was a reminder of how many stars of a certain generation were at their most relaxed and ebullient as participants on The Muppet Show.

Some 44 years after Belafonte did The Muppet Show, the powers that be at Disney and the Muppet Studio continue to go out of their way to find avenues for Muppet programming that inexplicably avoid just doing The Muppet Show for a new generation. There’s a willingness to fritter this priceless brand away on tangential projects that vanish quickly and forgettably instead of bringing the characters and the A-list stars who love them together in one spoof-and-song-driven space.

Though they've primarily been supporting characters in the past – the house band in The Muppet Show and popping up in the movies for the odd appearance and musical number – Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem are ready for their moment in the spotlight, thanks to a new Disney+ series called The Muppets Mayhem. Check out the full trailer…

This new series sees The Electric Mayhem on an epic musical journey to finally record their first studio album. With the help of driven young music executive Nora (Lily Singh), the old-school Muppet band comes face to face with the current day music scene as they try to finally go platinum.

"I've been waiting my entire life for an Electric Mayhem album... Finally somebody is making it happen!" Disney has unveiled their full official trailer for the new Muppets series called The Muppets Mayhem, arriving for streaming on Disney+ this May. This musical follows The Muppets' band from the 80s, known as Electric Mayhem, as they try to record their first ever album together. Sounds like this is going to be a rockin' good time! It's developed by Adam F. Goldberg, Bill Barretta, and Jeff Yorkes, for ABC Signature and The Muppets Studio. The series stars Lilly Singh, Tahj Mowry, Saara Chaudry, and Anders Holm in real person roles. Along with all the Muppets performers Bill Barretta, Peter Linz, Eric Jacobson, Matt Vogel, David Rudman, and Dave Goelz. Huzzah!! The Electric Mayhem is Back!

Today in news that will totally make you smile (I hope!), I'm thrilled to be the one to remind you there's a new Muppets series coming to Disney+ -- one that takes a deep dive into the rockin' world of The Electric Mayhem Band, aka that band of Muppets that is a regular fixture in most Jim Henson properties. Cute, right? Needless to say, I'm ready for "The Muppets Mayhem"— and the trailer is a major reason why.

In the show's sneak peek, we get reacquainted with the band and find out they've made a mark on some of the world's most famous musicians, including Tommy Lee, Chris Stapleton, and Lil Nas X. But the trailer drops a bomb on us: the legendary group has never actually made a record together. This show chronicles what exactly happens on Mayhem's quest to finally produce an album, many years after the height of their music career.

The legendary rock band from Jim Henson’s Muppets is making a comeback…with their very first studio album.

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.

Rian Johnson’s Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is still making waves on the Netflix streaming chart, and fans of the whodunit franchise featuring Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc want to know what’s next for the character. Johnson has already made two films in the series, each starring an ensemble cast of A-list actors, now a question remains: Who can Johnson get for the third film that would blow everyone away? How about the Muppets? You heard me. What if Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo the Great, Fozzie Bear, Animal, and other Muppets cast members joined Blanc for a murder mystery? It could be the best idea in cinema history, but Johnson doubts it’s the right move for the series.

An article by John Dilillo of Netflix Tudum is making the rounds, in which the writer talks about the Muppets starring in a new Knives Out mystery.

When you hear about people suffering for their art, you probably think about Dickens, Plath, Kafka, or Van Gogh. But Jim Henson and his merry band of Muppets performers should probably be somewhere on that list. During production on 1979's "The Muppet Movie," the team created a whole assortment of innovations to allow Kermit, Fozzie, and the whole gang to interact with the real world as regular people do. For example, the Studebaker featured in the iconic musical numbers "Movin' Right Along" and "Can You Picture That?" had a monitor and a steering wheel in the trunk so that it could be driven from the back while Henson and Frank Oz were hidden in the floor and dashboard at the front of the car.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg for the precarious positions that Muppets performers have found themselves in over the years. And following a recent...

Following their triumphant performance at the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco back in 2016, Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem have been carefully planning their next moves in the music industry. After years of waiting, we finally have an idea of what they're up to: A Disney+ series. It was announced in early 2022 that the band would be the stars of a brand new show called "The Muppet Mayhem" from Adam F. Goldberg of the hit ABC sitcom "The Goldbergs."

At this year's New York Comic Con, Goldberg was joined on stage by his co-creators and fellow executive producers Jeff Yorkes and veteran "Muppets" performer Bill Barretta (whose characters include Pepe the Prawn and Dr. Teeth himself), as well as human cast members Lilly Singh, Tahj Mowry, Saara Chaudry, and Anders Holm, to share some details about the long-awaited project. However, after their Main Stage panel, Goldberg and...

Thanks to Disney+, the Muppets are returning with an all-new show called "The Muppets Mayhem." This time, we're following the Muppets' resident rock stars Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as they embark on an adventure to record their very first album. But just like any other Muppets production, this series from Adam F. Goldberg, Jeff Yorkes, and veteran Muppets performer Bill Barretta will feature a number of cameos from various celebrities and musicians.

Though the producers were extremely tight-lipped about the cameos in the series, Goldberg did let a big one slide during their panel at New York Comic Con. While he and Yorkes explained that the show is more grounded in the real world (meaning there's no talking vegetables or a fork in the road), they mentioned a "surreal side to Zoot," the saxophone player in the band. It would be a fourth-wall-breaking moment that still "plays in the reality within the world.
