After the success of the original series, it was no surprise when Adventure Time: Distant Lands came to HBO Max in 2020 to flesh out some of the stories that were left to tell. For Adam Muto though, the characters of Fionna and Cake had a bit more story left than what could be told in a 44 minute special. So, in 2023, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake released on Max with a ten episode season that was well received enough to garner a renewal for season 2.
A spin-off of the 2010 animated series, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake follows Fionna Campbell (Madeleine Martin) and her cat Cake (Roz Ryan) who live in an alternate reality without magic. While Fionna spends her days at dead-end jobs and nights dreaming of magical lands, she and Cake are thrown into a multiverse-adventure when Simon Petrikov (Tom Kenny), formerly the Ice King, accidentally summons them to Ooo. Although the concept of a multiverse was part of the series already, the Scarab (Kayleigh McKee) was created as way to keep the series from “retreading what’s been done a hundred times” before.
DEADLINE: What was the process of bringing Fionna and Cake into their own spin-off series?
ADAM MUTO: It was a pretty long process because it stretches back to the ending of the original series, where we had options to either do a volume of episodes, that turned into the Distant Lands specials, or a limited series. Fionna and Cake was always on that list because we hadn’t explored a ton about those characters and they were also recognizable on their own. It basically started with asking, “What haven’t we done on the original series that we would only really be able to do with a different set of characters?” Eventually, it just felt like that was the best fit for Fionna
