We look forward to bringing this beloved property to television for the first time ever to delight global audiences and animation fans on Netflix.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>C.J. Kettler, president of King Features Syndicate, said: \u201c<em>Cuphead<\/em> has all the elements of a brilliant animated series\u2014great characters, physical comedy, beautiful design and a production style that harkens back to the golden age of animation. We are so fortunate to partner with Netflix Animation on the production of this new series which will introduce the adventures of Cuphead and Mugman to new audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Studio MDHR Co-Director Chad Moldenhauer said: \u201cJared [Moldenhauer, <em>Cuphead<\/em> co-creator] and I grew up on a steady diet of hand-animated classics\u2014some of our favorite memories together are intertwined with early Disney, Ub Iwerks and Fleischer Studios. These cartoons are a huge part of the reason <em>Cuphead<\/em> came to exist, and the thought of our little animated adventure becoming a cartoon of its own is surreal and wonderful. We can\u2019t think of better partners than King Features and Netflix and are so excited for <em>Cuphead<\/em> fans and new audiences alike to discover the world of the Inkwell Isles as envisioned by the talented team at Netflix Animation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cuphead Show!, a new animated comedy series based on Studio MDHR\u2019s Cuphead video game, is in the works at Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16709,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4703,3699,138,4704,4705],"class_list":["post-16708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cuphead","tag-king-features-syndicate","tag-netflix","tag-studio-mdhr","tag-the-cuphead-show","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cuphead Animated Series Set for Netflix - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cuphead Animated Series Set for Netflix - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Cuphead Show!, a new animated comedy series based on Studio MDHR\u2019s Cuphead video game, is in the works at Netflix.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-10T14:05:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/Cuphead-Poster_Starring_Netflix_FBHeader-719.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/\",\"name\":\"Cuphead Animated Series Set for Netflix - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-10T14:05:57+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-07-10T14:05:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cuphead-animated-series-set-for-netflix\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Cuphead Animated Series Set for Netflix\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
