Adventure Time’s Fionna and Cake Are Getting Their Own Spin-Off Show

As they are saying, the enjoyable by no means ends! With the ultimate installment of the Adventure Time: Distant Lands miniseries quick approaching, HBO Max has introduced one other unique spin-off of the beloved Cartoon Network sequence. This time, nonetheless, Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat would be the ones grabbing their pals, going to very distant lands, and so forth.

Emphasis on the distant. According to the official synopsis for the 10-episode sequence, it feels like Fionna and Cake’s adventures received’t simply be confined to their parallel model of Ooo:

Fionna and Cake—with the assistance of the previous Ice King, Simon Petrikov—embark on a multiverse-hopping journey and journey of self-discovery. All the whereas, a strong new antagonist decided to trace them down and erase them from existence lurks within the shadows.

Into the Adventure-Verse feels like a heck of a superb time to me. However, I’m wondering how this suits within the “origin” of Fionna and Cake, in that they’re fictional characters created by the Ice King. But is the multiverse actual? Is this simply Ice King’s fanfic magnum opus? Does it actually matter? I don’t assume so… except Fionna and Cake cease by “Ooo Prime” (for lack of a greater time period), which to be truthful looks as if the form of twist the makers of Adventure Time love throwing on the present’s followers.

The common grievance about these AT side-stories is that they (hardly ever) have our friends Finn and Jake in them, and that’s who followers wish to hang around with—comprehensible, given they’re the celebrities. But I believe the “Together Again” installment of Distant Lands, which aired on May 20, superbly and satisfyingly introduced their story to a detailed. While Fionna and Cake are clearly much like the O.G. duo, they’re nonetheless distinctive characters, and we’ve actually solely seen them in 4 of Adventure Time’s 283 (!) episodes. There’s quite a bit to elucidate about them, Prince Bubblegum, Marshall Lee, Ice Queen, and their world.

The half-hour, 10-episode sequence shall be overseen by Adam Muto, who did the identical for Distant Lands and the unique cartoon, too. No date was introduced, however at the least the fourth and closing installment of Distant Lands, starring the devious and arguably demonic Peppermint Butler, will arrive on HBO Max someday this fall.
