Anders Holm (Workaholics, Inventing Anna) has joined the cast of the live-action Muppets series, The Muppets Mayhem, in a recurring guest star role. Holm will play JJ, “a formerly sheepish, nerdy intern-turned uber-cool, tech entrepreneur” and ex-boyfriend of one of the lead characters, Nora (played by Lilly Singhs. Per Disney+ “On the surface, his ambition knows no bounds, but the real JJ underneath still hopes to win back Nora.”
The Mysterious Benedict Society‘s Saara Chaudry has also signed on to Disney+’s upcoming musical comedy series. Chaudry will play Hannah, Nora’s younger sister. Hannah’s described as the more accomplished sister. “Raised in the era of likes, shares and the idea that ‘if it wasn’t posted, it didn’t happen,’ Hannah translated her e-acumen and talent for enthusiastic and aspirational make-up videos into a burgeoning social media empire, complete with a legion of ‘Fan-a-Hannahs.’ Her success has unfortunately upended her dynamic with Nora.”
Tahj Mowry (Baby Daddy) was previously announced to star as Gary ‘Moog’ Moogowski.
Adam F. Goldberg (The Goldbergs), Bill Barretta (Muppets Haunted Mansion), and Jeff Yorkes developed the series and serve as writers. Goldberg, Barretta, Michael Bostick, Kris Eber, and The Muppets Studio’s David Lightbody and Leigh Slaughter executive produce. The series is produced by The Muppets Studio and ABC Signature.
Disney+’s official plot description:
“The comedy 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 — on an epic, music-filled journey to record their first-ever studio album. With the help of a driven young music executive, Nora Gibbs (Singh), the old-school Muppet band comes face to face with the current day music scene as they try to finally go platinum.”
