Adventure Time: Distant Lands is the collective name for four hour-long web television specials based on the American animated television series Adventure Time, which was created by Pendleton Ward and originally ran on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018. The specials were produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios and will be released on HBO Max in 2020.[1] The series at large follows the adventures of Finn (a human boy) and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape and size at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, where they interact with the series' other main characters, including Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, and BMO.

Production

Concept

The series follows the adventures of Finn the Human (a boy), and his best friend Jake, a dog with magical powers to change shape and size at will. Finn and Jake live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, where they interact with the other major characters, such as Princess Bubblegum, Marceline the Vampire Queen, and BMO. Common storylines revolve around Finn and Jake going on the titular adventures, discovering strange creatures, and battling monsters to help others.[2]

Background

On September 29, 2016, Cartoon Network officially announced that Adventure Time would end.[3] Storyline writing for the initial series ended in mid-November 2016,[4] and the show's final script was pitched to storyboarders on November 28.[5][6][7] Voice recording for the initial series ended on January 31, 2017.[8][9][10] Several of the show's crew members were then hired for Cartoon Network's Summer Camp Island, created by Adventure Time storyline writer Julia Pott.[11] The Adventure Time finale, "Come Along with Me", aired on September 3, 2018 to a largely positive reception.[12][13][14][15][16][17]

Development

The Adventure Time: Distant Lands specials were produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator, but unlike the previous seasons, will debut on HBO Max, the video on demand service from WarnerMedia Entertainment.[18]

Longtime Adventure Time executive producer Adam Muto helmed the specials, whilst Jack Pendarvis and Kate Tsang[19] were brought on as part of the writing staff. Storyboard artists who worked on these specials include (but are not limited to): Ashlyn Anstee,[20] Iggy Craig,[21] Megan Fisher,[22] Hanna K. Nyström,[23] Maya Petersen,[24] and Serena Wu.[25]
