Set in the 1930s-style world of the Inkwell Isles, The Cuphead Show! follows the misadventures of Cuphead and Mugman, a pair of anthropomorphic cup brothers who live with their elderly grandfather and caretaker, Elder Kettle, in a teapot-shaped cottage. The second season was released on August 19, 2022, followed, soon after, by the third season released on November 18, 2022.
The series was released worldwide on February 18, 2022, as a Netflix Original Series, to generally positive reviews from both critics and the audience, with praise for its animation, voice acting, music, humor, and tone, but some felt it lacked in substance, with the episodes' plots being criticized for being 'too fragmented' and 'often repetitive'.
Chad and Jared Moldenhauer, the creators of Cuphead, serve as executive producers, along with Wasson and CJ Kettler from King Features Syndicate, and Cosmo Segurson serving as co-executive producer. The Cuphead Show! is an animated slapstick comedy television series developed by Dave Wasson for Netflix, based on the 2017 video game Cuphead by Studio MDHR.
