Adventure Time is back – with a twist! The first trailer for Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake premiered at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
That’s right, Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat are now leading their own series. The characters originally came from a comic drawn by Adventure Time character designer, Natasha Allegri. They first appeared in a series in a 2011 episode, though their world was revealed to be fanfiction written by the Ice King. Still, the characters were so popular that they appeared in several other episodes, and many more genderbent versions of Adventure Time characters appeared – such as Marshall Lee, Prince Gumball, and Lumpy Space Prince.
This new series brings Fionna and Cake to the fore as they explore the multiverse with the former Ice King, Simon Petrikov. The first trailer shows Fionna and Cake in what appears to be the ordinary world, where they deal with the mundanity of routine. Fionna says she wishes for something more magical than her boring life, and that’s the start of a few glimpses into the grand multiverse adventure that awaits them.
although Adventure Time ended in 2018, four hours long Adventure Time specials – each centered around different characters – have since appeared on Max. Fionna and cake consists of ten half-hour episodes and will appear on Max this fall.
