The series premiered on HBO Max on June 25, 2020. On October 2019, Cartoon Network announced an official follow-up in Adventure Time: Distant Lands, a sequel miniseries composed of four hour-long episodes each centering on different members of the main cast. Accompanying Season 11 was another miniseries, Marcy and Simon, which did manage to conclude its run and ended the latter's character arc. Meant to be an unofficial 12-issue epilogue, it only lasted six issues due to not meeting sales expectations. With an eight-year run, Adventure Time is the fourth longest-running series on Cartoon Network, and at 283 produced episodes, is surpassed only by the Ben 10 franchise and Teen Titans Go! in episode count.Īfter the finale, a comic book series entitled Adventure Time: Season 11 was released. The hour-long series finale 'Come Along With Me' aired on Septemafter an all-day marathon of the show's most popular episodes. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo. On September 29, 2016, after months of erratic airings, Cartoon Network announced on Twitter that the show would end in 2018. The first series, Adventure Time (20102018), follows the adventures of Finn (voiced by Jeremy Shada ), a human boy, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake ( John DiMaggio ), a dog with magical powers to change shape and grow and shrink at will. Ward created the short almost entirely by himself, and concluded its production in early 2006. The stories bear more resemblance to a group of kids playing with action figures - or a particularly baked round of Dungeons & Dragons - than a coherent plot.which probably explains why it's so dang fun. The series can trace its origin back to a seven-minute, stand-alone animated short film of the same name (this short would later be identified as the show's pilot post facto ). Much like Homestar Runner, the series is sort of a cross between a children's show and a parody of a children's show, with these elements still being very much present even after the show took a turn for the darker. Why? Because it's really frickin' weird, that's why!īoth the original short and subsequent series follow the adventures of two best friends, Jake the Dog ( John DiMaggio) and Finn the Human note known as Pen the Human in the original short ( Jeremy Shada), who explore and battle evil in the magical, post-apocalyptic land of Ooo, home to some really strange characters. However, the short itself was shown solo on Nicktoons in early 2007, at which point it quickly went viral on the Internet. Originally meant to premiere in fall 2007, the animated variety show was delayed from public airing until December 2008. The series began life as a seven-minute short written and co-directed by Ward, produced to be a part of Random! Cartoons on Nickelodeon.

Adventure Time note also known as Adventure Time with Finn and Jake during the show's first season is an American fantasy animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network.
