The series is aimed at a general family audience and features voice acting by Tru Valentino and Frank Todaro in the lead roles.
help The Cuphead Show! FAQ
Does The Cuphead Show follow the plot of the Cuphead video game?
Not exactly. The Netflix series uses Cuphead, Mugman, the Devil, and other characters from Studio MDHR's 2017 game, but tells episodic comedy stories instead of recreating the game's boss progression.
Who voices Cuphead and Mugman in The Cuphead Show?
Tru Valentino voices Cuphead, and Frank Todaro voices Mugman. Wayne Brady plays King Dice, the Devil's charismatic casino manager and game-show host.
How many seasons of The Cuphead Show are on Netflix?
Netflix released three batches identified as seasons during 2022. Together they contain 36 short episodes built around the brothers' encounters with figures such as Ms. Chalice and the Devil.
Does The Cuphead Show use hand-drawn 1930s animation?
Its appearance closely imitates rubber-hose cartoons from studios such as Fleischer, but the production uses modern digital animation techniques. The backgrounds, film-grain effects, and music help preserve the period-inspired look of the game.
