What is The Cuphead Show about?
The show is based on hit video game Cuphead, which was released in 2017. The game involves the title character and his brother, Mugman, fighting through the levels in various battles.
The new series will also see the impulsive Cuphead and the more cautious Mugman take centre stage. Mugman is also described as 'persuadable', so we can only imagine the kind of trouble his brother will be getting him into as they go head to head with various enemies.
