The Cuphead Show will launch on Netflix next month

1930s cartoons in February, somehow.

The Cuphead Show  will finally premiere on Netflix soon. 

On Tuesday, the streaming giant announced that The Cuphead Show’s  first season will go live on Feb. 18, 2022. Season one will contain 12 episodes, each about 12 minutes in runtime a piece.

The series is a  video game adaptation  of Cuphead, an action platformer that came out in 2017. It was quite the critical and commercial darling at the time, evident by its  86 Metacritic  score for the Xbox version. Cuphead  eventually made it on PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and macOS.

A trailer for The Cuphead Show  also went live Tuesday, which you can check below. The biggest name attached to the show is undoubtedly Wayne Brady, who plays the villainous King Dice. 

Netflix has a pretty decent track record adapting video game licenses as of late. Arcane: League of Legends  was a massive hit on the platform, so much that a  second season  is already on the way. 

It’s hard to say if The Cuphead Show  will reach similar levels of prestige. Still, if nothing else, Netflix has shown they won’t (necessarily) pump out more  terrible video game adaptations — we have more than enough of those.
