"It’s not a toddler show or a little kids cartoon. “It’s safe for kids, but written so there are also things that adults find funny and appeals to a wider audience," said Moldenhauer. The Cuphead Show! is being written so that it's appropriate for children but also enjoyable for adults. Through their many misadventures across their surreal home of the Inkwell Isles, they’ve always got one another’s backs.” The character-driven comedy follows the unique misadventures of the impulsive Cuphead and his cautious but easily swayed brother Mugman.

Officially titled The Cuphead Show!, the series will follow the comedic adventures of Cuphead and Mugman across Inkwell Isle.
