The Devil is coming back with a vengeance in the first Cuphead scored rave reviews from critics for its classic animation style, gameplay and soundtrack, though its difficulty has been met with divided reviews from critics and gamers alike.
The Cuphead Show! takes a broader approach to adapting the game as it explores the random misadventures of Cuphead and Mugman, as well as their parental figure Elder Kettle, while still touching upon their interactions with the Devil. Tru Valentino and Frank Todaro lead the cast of the series as Cuphead and Mugman alongside Joe Hanna, Grey DeLisle, Luke Millington-Drake as the Devil and Wayne Brady as King Dice. Just a few months after its premiere, The Cuphead Show! is already gearing up to make its return.
As part of the streaming platform's Geeked Week, Netflix has released the first The Cuphead Show! season 2 teaser. The video offers a look at the new adventures of Cuphead, Mugman and Elder Kettle as well as revealing an August premiere date for the next chapter of the animated series.

Though only a brief teaser in its runtime and featuring footage from its debut season, The Cuphead Show! season 2 teaser offers plenty of exciting teases of what's to come from the next season of the animated series. The season 1 finale saw Cuphead and Mugman hauled off to prison after becoming friends with Grey DeLisle's con artist Ms. Chalice, with the season 2 trailer hinting at their jail break and Ms. Chalice working to apologize for letting them take the fall for her. The trailer also teases the return of the Devil as he continues his efforts to claim Cuphead's soul, which has frequently failed as he and Mugman have outwitted him.
Given The Cuphead Show! season 2 teaser utilizes footage from previous episodes, one thing that remains unclear is whether Wayne Brady's King Dice will make his return to the fold. Season 1 saw the Devil fire King Dice from hosting his game show after he failed to acquire Cuphead's soul, but given the character's popularity as one of the final bosses from the Cuphead game, it seems likely he could make another appearance in the new season. Only time will tell when The Cuphead Show! season 2 premieres on August 19.
