‘The Cuphead Show!’ Trailer is here
The series is based on the bestselling Xbox/PC game Cuphead, whose title character returns here with his brother Mugman for more surreal adventures in the Inkwell Isles. The production involved industry veterans who understand the 1930s style they are pastiching, and it shows in the accomplished animation on display in the new trailer:
The Cuphead Show! was developed by Dave Wasson, director on the Mickey Mouse shorts and creator of Cartoon Network’s Time Squad, who is also an executive producer. Cosmo Segurson, director of Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling and Pig Goat Banana Cricket, serves as co-executive producer.
Netflix Animation is producing. Cuphead creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer are executive-producing for Studio MDHR (which produced the game). C.J. Kettler is executive-producing for King Features, which represents Cuphead for licensing.
