In some of the biggest news to come out of Annecy this year, “Adventure Time” has a new spinoff: animated series “Adventure Time: Bubblegum and Marceline” which, in another Annecy announcement, has been given a 10-episode straight to series order from HBO Max.
The new “Adventure Time” spinoff is being produced in partnership with Cartoon Network Studios. Following the success of Max Originals “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake” and “Adventure Time: Distant Lands,” Emmy-winning franchise veteran Adam Muto will continue to serve as showrunner and executive producer on “Adventure Time: Bubblegum and Marceline.”
The announcement of the new “Adventure Time” spinoff and HBO Max order was made Wednesday at a Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe showcase at the Annecy Animation Festival.
According to a logline shared with Variety, the new series sees fan favorites “Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen journey across the farthest reaches of Ooo, encountering familiar faces and new dangers.”
The new series narrative is projected as spreading across multiple episodes and seasons, in line with “Adventure Time” and “Fiona and Cake” and in contrast to the standalone episodes in line with “Adventure Time: Side Quests,” set to debut June 29 on Disney+ and Hulu.
