Mayhem Ensues
“The Muppets Mayhem” revolves around the fusion of an old-school band with modern music-making techniques. The Muppets portray a group of characters who lack clear goals or ambitions, adopting a laid-back and non-committal approach to their plans. However, when a determined character enters the picture, urging them to work towards a more defined future, comedic conflicts arise. Floyd Pepper is one of the main characters from the new show.
