His statement reads “Huge thanks to the critic & fan love that got us 6 Emmy noms and a #1 Billboard album,” he then continued “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 @billbarretta & @JeffYorkes! IT’S HAPPENING.”
