Disney+ is cutting Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem’s comeback tour short, cancelling The Muppets Mayhem after one season, TVLine has reported.
“What a long, strange trip it’s been!” co-creator and executive producer Jeff Yorkes wrote on social media shortly after news of the show’s cancellation broke. “The highs (thanks Zoot!), the lows… A huge thank you to our loyal fans and viewers. I hope audiences continue to discover our little show and that it brings them some joy… and some Mayhem!! Rock on!!”
The live-action comedy starred Lilly Singh as Nora, an ambitious young music executive who worked with The Electric Mayhem — featuring 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 — to help them finally record their first-ever studio album.
Tahj Mowry also starred as Electric Mayhem superfan Moog, along with Saara Chaudry as Nora’s sister Hannah and Anders Holm as JJ. Featured Muppet performers included Matt Vogel as Floyd, Bill Barretta as Dr. Teeth, Peter Linz as Lips and Dave Goelz as Zoot.
As with any Muppets project, the Electric Mayhem also brought plenty of star power to Disney+. Here are just a few of the big names who appeared in the show’s first (and now only) season: Paula Abdul, Rachel Bloom, Nicole Byer, Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin, Morgan Freeman, James Hong, Ke$ha, Tommy Lee, Lil Nas X, Ryan Seacrest, Kevin Smith, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.
The series was developed for Disney+ by Bill Barretta, Adam F. Goldberg and Yorke
