No Season 2 for the musical comedy.
November 21, 2023
Word is out that Disney+ has cancelled The Muppets Mayhem after one season. The news comes six months after the musical comedy released its 10-episode freshman run on the streaming service.
Executive producer Adam F. Goldberg took to X this afternoon to say that working on the show "was truly the most joyful and collaborative experience" of his career. He also had a bit of good news for Muppets fans, stating that he already has another Muppets project in the works.
The series 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 - as they set out on a music-filled adventure to record their first-ever studio album. With help from a driven young music executive, the old-school Muppet band navigate the modern-day music scene as they try to finally release their first studio album.
Huge thanks to the critic & fan love that got us 6 Emmy noms and a #1 Billboard album. Mayhem was truly the most joyful and collaborative experience of my career. From day one all I've cared about is creating a Muppet-verse and YES I am already cooking up more Muppets with… https://t.co/eckhhQkb5u

The Muppets franchise is probably the one big media acquisition by Disney that never paid off. And it's a shame, because there is so much gold there in the right hands. "The Muppet Show" back in the '70s was a classic. Disney just can't do anything right these days.

My kids and I really enjoyed this show. It was a great way to flesh out some other Muppets for once. The first episodes were a little rocky but it found it's rhythm around the fourth episode or so. It ended on a decent enough note without a real cliffhanger, so at least there's that.

Agreed Stefan. I got thru the first episode. Nothing caught me enough to get thru the rest, yet. The band has always been one of those cool things in the background, since the 70's. And a fave of mine. I always loved Animal and Janice. But over the years, I grew to love the whole band. First blue Zoot, then the Dr., then them all. I am less interested in the human subplots in this series. One day, I'll knock out the season.

I'm a massive Muppets fan for over 40 years but this didn't connect. Couldn't even make it through the first episode.
