THE Cuphead Show, an animated series based on Studio MDHR's popular game Cuphead, is coming to Netflix.

When does Cuphead premiere on Netflix?

Clay Morrow and Adam Paloian will be supervising directors, while Dave Wasson and Cosmo Segurson will co-executive produce.
What is Cuphead about?

The premise of the game is that Cuphead and his brother Mugman are controlled by one or two players
The gamer must fight their way through stages that culminate in boss encounters in order to fulfill their debt to the Devil.
The game's graphic aesthetic, playability, soundtrack, and challenges were all acclaimed; it was a critical and economic triumph, receiving several accolades and selling over six million copies in only three years.
