Adventure Time was a beloved animated series on Cartoon Network that ended after ten seasons. The conclusion was well….conclusive, but who doesn’t want more Adventure Time? We’re getting a report now that HBO Max will be featuring a new Adventure Time show in 2020. Called Adventure Time: Distant Lands, this new series will consist of four new one-hour specials.
Head of Original Content at HBO Max, Sarah Aubrey; announced:
“The enchanted world of Adventure Time has mesmerized viewers and critics alike as Finn and Jake right wrongs and battle evil. The addition of these specials to the HBO Max kids and family programming lineup is sure to make kids everywhere say ‘Slam-bam-in-a-can!’”
Here is the first original image for the new series, as well as the descriptions for the four new specials via the press release:
BMO follows the lovable little robot from Adventure Time. When there’s a deadly space emergency in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, there’s only one hero to call, and it’s probably not BMO. Except that this time it is!
Obsidian features Marceline & Princess Bubblegum as they journey to the imposing, beautiful Glass Kingdom—and deep into their tumultuous past—to prevent an earthshaking catastrophe.
Wizard City follows Peppermint Butler, starting over at the beginning, as just another inexperienced Wizard School student. When mysterious events at the campus cast suspicion on Pep, and his checkered past, can he master the mystic arts in time to prove his innocence?
Together Again brings Finn and Jake together again, to rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives.
The first two, BMO and Obsidian, are set to premiere on the streaming service next year with the latter two — Wizard City and Together Again — following. It sounds like there might not be an official premiere window for the final two specials set quite yet, and none of Adventure Time: Distant Lands has a specific release date.
Chief Content Officer of Cartoon Network, Rob Sorcher; stated:
“Adventure Time was a groundbreaking series and a creative playground for so many talented creative artists. Producing Adventure Time: Distant Lands for HBO Max will allow our studio to explore this beloved world in an all-new format.”
I think we are happy to get more from this enjoyable cartoon, as well as more songs! As sort of the precursor (I would say) to Steven Universe, Adventure Time never gets old!
