Cuphead and his trusty drink-holding brother will hit Netflix next month. 

This news was announced today with the first official trailer for the series, which is called The Cuphead Show. This new trailer comes seven months after our first sneak peek at the show and as that peek indicated, The Cuphead Show will be about the titular character and his brother, Mugman, traversing the Inkwell Isles.

Netflix Animation is producing the 12-episode series, and each episode will run for 12 minutes. Cuphead creators Chad and
