Development
In July 2019, Netflix announced The Cuphead Show!, an animated series based on the video game Cuphead. It will feature adventures of Cuphead and Mugman across Inkwell Isle, exploring areas and characters beyond those in the video game. While the series will be targeted for children, StudioMDHR also anticipated that they will include humor and gags for adult audience appreciation. The series will be animated; it will not be done as meticulously as the video game using traditional pen-and-paper methods, as that would take far too long to complete, but it will feature hand-drawn characters and movement. Chad and Jared Moldenhauer from StudioMDHR will be executive producers along with CJ Kettler from King Features Syndicate. Dave Wasson and Cosmo Segurson will co-executive produce, while Clay Morrow and Adam Paloian will be supervising directors.[6][7][8]
Casting
In June 2020, it was announced that Tru Valentino will voice Cuphead, while Frank Todaro will voice Mugman.[9][4] Additional cast members were revealed, including Joe Hanna as Elder Kettle, Luke Millington-Drake as The Devil, and Grey Griffin as Ms. Chalice.[1]
Marketing
The series ran a sneak peek showcase at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on June 15, 2020.[5][10]
