#How The Cuphead Show Creators Adapted Such A Minimalist Game For TV

The voice cast is one of the best parts of what I’ve seen so far, other than the brothers dipping cookies into the milk in their heads! The cast includes Tru Valentino (Cuphead), Frank Todaro (Mugman), Joe Hanna (Elder Kettle), Luke Millington-Drake (Devil), Grey Griffin (Ms. Chalice), and Wayne Brady (King Dice). They’ve got that whole snarky, 1930s vocal style down to a T. 

Fernandez took what Wasson said about the show and expanded on it, talking about the backstory. She said: 

“I also think that, like you were saying, a lot of like games come with all this backstory, and with watching how the show was developed, so much of it was the story team in the writer’s room with Dave and Cosmo and our story editor just having a good time, and figuring out who the characters were and what they were doing. It was a lot more about comedy than it was lore. And I think that’s a little different than other projects that come from that video game space. This team was really invested in getting real characters with great comedic performances that were going to bring you through an entire episode without really having to have played the game.”

Fernandez said that this was all about getting the look and the aesthetics right, and then building a story around it.
