The Cuphead Show Hits Netflix Next Month, New Trailer Released

Cuphead and his trusty drink-holding brother will hit Netflix next month. 

Today, the official trailer was released for the new series. The Cuphead Show.Seven months have passed since our initial sneak peak at the show, and this new trailer is a seven-month follow up. Cuphead Show will be about the titular character and his brother, Mugman, traversing the Inkwell Isles. 

The game asks players to wipe out a debt owed by the Devil. However, the series seems less focused on a single story and more about episodes-to-episode adventures, that could or might not be hijacked. The trailer shows quite a few locations in Cuphead, as well as the bosses that our heroes will face. 

“Based on the award-winning video game that smashed onto the scene with a gorgeous retro animation style, Cuphead Show is a character-driven comedy series following the unique misadventures of loveable, impulsive scamp Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman,” a press release from Netflix reads. “As the two scour their surreal homeworld of the Inkwell Isles in search of fun and adventure, they always have each other’s back.” 

The show features, as you would expect from a retro-style animated game. It also has the same comedy and antics of the 1920s as in the original. 

“Cuphead Show combines nostalgic delights, side-splitting gags, and a healthy dose of the heebie jeebies – espeically when a ridiculously weird nemesis, The Devil himself, arrives on the scene to toy with our heroes.” 

Netflix Animation has produced the 12-episode series. Every episode will be twelve minutes long. The executive producers of Cuphead are Chad Moldenhaur (Studio MDHR) and Jared Moldenhaur (Psychonauts 2) as well as Cuphead creators. The voice cast includes Tru Valentino (Psychonauts 2) as Cuphead, Frank Todaro (Jojo’s Bizarre AdventureJoe Hanna (Dishonored 3) as Elder Kettle; Luke Millington Drake (Devil) as the Devil; Grey Griffin (Batman Arkham City) to play Ms. Chalice and Wayne BradyWhat’s the Line Anyway?) as King Dice.
