Muppet Mayhem Comes to NYCC!

After conquering D23 last week, The Electric Mayhem will promote their upcoming series The Muppets Mayhem at New York Comic Con.

 

The Muppets Mayhem:

It’s time to play the music! Coming to Disney+ in 2023, The Muppets Mayhem is a brand-new series that, for the first time in the Muppets’ over 65-year history, focuses on the legendary Electric Mayhem band as they maneuver their way through the music world of Los Angeles with one goal — to finally record their first album. Join the “human” stars of the series — Lilly Singh, Tahj Mowry and Saara Chaudry — as well as co-creators and executive producers Adam F. Goldberg, Jeff Yorkes and Bill Barretta for exciting news, exclusive footage and more!

The Muppets Mayhem will be held on the Main stage Sunday, October 9 from 11-12:30pm.
