Here's a teaser trailer for the 'Cuphead' series that's coming to Netflix

It's been nearly two years since we heard that Netflix and Studio MDHR are teaming up on a Cuphead animated series, and now we can get a peek at it in motion. As part of Netflix's "Geeked Week" events, series star Wayne Brady introduced the clip which shows his character King Dice (the devil's right hand man) setting up the action.

There's no release date for the series yet, but the handcrafted animation style that was a highlight of this hit indie game in 2017 seems to have survived the transition intact. According to the trailer it's "coming soon," so hopefully it won't be long before we hear more about this and that COVID-delayed DLC.
