Cartoon Network Studio’s “Adventure Time: Side Quests” will premiere on June 29, Disney+ and Hulu announced. The show will stream on the platforms.
The new “Adventure Time” companion series will follow “young hero Finn and his magical dog best friend Jake as they embark on adventures across the fantastical land of Ooo — partying with cloud people and punching evil in the butt along the way,” per the official logline.
“Making ‘Side Quests’ felt like making the original ‘Adventure Time,’ which felt like hanging out with art school buddies making professional cartoons,” said Nate Cash, showrunner and executive producer, in a statement. “That sounds like a big sandwich of feelings, and it was! You’re going to love these NEW adventures with Finn & Jake!”
Sasha Knight voices Finn the Human and John DiMaggio returns as the voice of Jake the Dog. Fan-favourite characters also include Ice King (Tom Kenny), Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch), Marceline (Olivia Olson), and BMO (Niki Yang).
“Adventure Time: Side Quests” is executive produced by Nate Cash, with Darrick Bachman serving as story editor. Victor Courtright and Niki Yang direct, Nick Cross is the art director and Matthew Janszen is the composer.
