HBO Max Orders ADVENTURE TIME To Series Starring FIONNA & CAKE

HBO Max has given a series order to ADVENTURE TIME: FIONNA & CAKE (wt), an all-new half-hour young adult animated series starring the fearless sword-wielding adventurer, “Fionna,” and her magical best friend and talking cat, “Cake.” Produced by Cartoon Network Studios, the ten-episode series will explore their relationship and the mysterious land of Ooo. Adam Muto (“Adventure Time,” “Adventure Time: Distant Lands” specials) will serve as showrunner and executive producer.

Fionna and Cake – with the help of the former Ice King, Simon Petrikov – embark on a multiverse-hopping adventure and journey of self-discovery. All the while a powerful new antagonist determined to track them down and erase them from existence, lurks in the shadows.

ADVENTURE TIME: FIONNA & CAKE (wt) represents the next chapter of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning “Adventure Time” franchise on HBO Max, following its four critically acclaimed one-hour original specials, “Adventure Time: Distant Lands.” The fourth and final special, “Wizard City,” will be coming this Fall.

The series will premiere sometime in 2023 and comes from a subdivision of HBO MAX/Cartoon Network called “CN:MAX”. The idea is that there is a huge market for animated series for the YA audience that is largely untapped. Close Enough is part of this endeavor, along with a whole slate of additional content that include some form of extension for Infinity Train (film or additional episodes). More as it develops.
