    Today Netflix and King Features Syndicate, part of Hearst Entertainment and Syndication announced that an all new animated series featuring Cuphead will be coming soon to the streaming platform. The Cuphead Show will be based on Studio MDHR’s award winning video game Cuphead™.

    With an animation style inspired by the classic Fleischer cartoons of the 1930’s The Cuphead show will expand on the characters and the world shown to us in the game. The retro hand animated style will continue into the show and will bring game play to life in the series.

    King Features CJ Kettler will Exectutive Produce as well as creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer for Studio MDHR. The series will be produced by Netflix Animation and is also executive produced by Emmy and Annie Award-winning producer, Dave Wasson (Mickey Mouse Shorts) and Cosmo Segurson (Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling) serves as co-executive producer.

    The character-driven comedy follows the unique misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman. Through their many misadventures across their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles, they’ve always got one another’s backs.

    Netflix Press Release

    Cuphead has sold over 4 million units worldwide and has won over 20 major awards. Including Special Achievement in Animation at the 45th Annual Annie Awards, Xbox One’s Game of the Year, a BAFTA Games award for Music, and a trio of statues at the 2017 Game Awards for Best Debut, Best Independent Game, and Best Art Direction. The game continues to be celebrated by fans for its arcade-action gameplay, highly original art design, and an award-winning soundtrack featuring almost three hours of original jazz, early big band, and ragtime music.

    This announcement marks the first long-form animated series production for King Features since announcing their strategy to build character franchises across multiple platforms including television, digital video, licensing and social media.
