The Cuphead Show is a Netflix original cartoon starring Cuphead, Mugman, and various villains from the Cuphead video game. The show follows Cuphead and Mugman's ongoing battle with the Devil and his henchmen. Season 1 only explored a handful of the game's expansive cast of bosses, so there's plenty of material left for season 2 and beyond.
The first season of the show was a big hit. In our review, we called the show amazing, saying, "The Cuphead Show captures the essence of the popular game, giving fans old and new a surreal, exhilarating, chaotic, and all-around fun throwback cartoon with memorable characters and stunning animation. After Arcane and Castlevania, it’s another feather in Netflix’s cap for stellar video game adaptations."
