What is Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake about?

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake, the American animated series, serves as a continuation of the vibrant world established by the popular cartoon, Adventure Time. This iteration of the franchise spotlights Fionna the Human and her magical feline companion, Cake the Cat, as they embark on an expedition through multiple universes. Unlike the original series, which catered to a broad audience, this show is specifically targeted towards young adults, adding a new layer to the narrative complexity and character development. Under the guidance of executive producer Adam Muto, who played a significant role in Adventure Time’s later seasons and the Distant Lands specials, the series maintains the charm and creativity that fans have come to cherish. The show not only captures the essence of the original with its alternative protagonists but also evolves it by introducing Simon Petrikov, once known as the Ice King, in his human form. Together, they traverse strange new worlds and tackle the intricacies of identity and growth, all while being haunted by a potent antagonist whose intentions are shrouded in secrecy. Premiering on Max, the show has since expanded its reach, earning a renewal for a second season, which continues the engaging tales of this beloved universe.

The first episode of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake aired on August 31, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on September 28, 2023.
