First released in 2017, the original Cuphead game received critical acclaim as a run-and-gun arcade game with a distinct 2D design that emulated the golden age of American animation. Its popularity propelled it to multiple platforms, a cameo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a new DLC story due out in the summer.

While the game didn't feature much voice acting for its main cast, the new cartoon features a fully stacked voice cast to bring new life to the popular franchise.

Here's who's in the voice cast for The Cuphead Show.
