Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is an American adult animated television series developed by Adam Muto, based on the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time, which was created by Pendleton Ward. Unlike the original series, the show is made for adult audience. The third series in the franchise, it premiered via the streaming service Max on August 31, 2023. It was later renewed for a second season. The series focuses on the titular characters, Fionna and Cake the Cat, alternative versions of main characters Finn the Human and Jake the Dog from the original series, along with the Ice King as his original human form Simon Petrikov. The series is executive produced by Muto, who had served as showrunner for the latter half of Adventure Time and oversaw production of the Distant Lands specials, as well as Fred Seibert and Sam Register. Synopsis Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake is a spin-off of Adventure Time, the latter of which follows the adventures of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog. This series follows Finn and Jake's gender-swapped counterpart, Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat. The series also features Simon Petrikov, a character who for most of Adventure Time had been well known as the Ice King. Fionna lives with her cat, Cake, in an alternate reality without magic, spending her days cycling through dead-end jobs; at night, she dreams of a magical world that appears to be forever unreachable. Simon, in the Land of Ooo, works from home as a living exhibit of a bygone era, facing agonies of the lost in life just like Fionna. Later, the trio travel throughout the multiverse, while also being chased by a new antagonist attempting to erase them from existence.

Episodes Production Concept and creation The idea for "Fionna the Human" and "Cake the Cat" evolved from drawings that Adventure Time character designer and storyboard revisionist Natasha Allegri had posted online during the show's earliest seasons. Reception to the gender-swapped characters was so positive that the Adventure Time producers decided to write the characters into the series. They debuted in Season 3's "Fionna and Cake", on which Allegri worked, and it functioned as both "a jab [and] a huge celebration of, [sic] the feeling of being a fan" and "allowing something completely ridiculous to make your heart tighten". The characters would make additional appearances in Season 5's "Bad Little Boy", Season 6's "The Prince Who Wanted Everything", Season 8's "Five Short Tables", and Season 9's "Fionna and Cake and Fionna". In these episodes, Ice King shares stories about Fionna and Cake he made, who are in fact characters from modern shows; when he sleeps, a beam projects to his head to transport ideas of the fan-fiction. After the 2018 finale "Come Along with Me", a first spin-off series of Adventure Time: Distant Lands debuted in 2020; before the latter's finale, HBO Max announced that a gender-swapped spin-off series was in production, on August 17, 2021, and ten half-hour episodes were planned. In a 2022 interview, Jeremy Shada, the voice actor of Finn the Human, noted that he "may or may not be in that" when it came to the new spin-off. In the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in 2022-23, Cartoon Network and HBO Max released sneak peek material, while HBO Max was rebranded under the name Max as of May 2023. Development The Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake series was developed specifically with the young adult demographic in mind, according to Suzanna Makkos, an executive for both Max and Adult Swim: "The Adventure Time fans have grown up and people are still coming in the bottom, and they're aging up", she noted in an interview with Comic Book Resources. "[Fionna and Cake] felt like a perfect show for us. Tonally, it is very much Adventure Time, but Fionna's older. She's in the workforce. It's more adult, so I think it's going to bring in new fans, and it's also going to serve the fans that we already have." In the United States, the limited series received a TV-14 certification based on the adult content (nudity, gore, profanity, and substance abuse); on the other hand, the series remains the TV-PG rating, just like Adventure Time, in Australia. Longtime Adventure Time and Distant Lands executive producer Adam Muto returned to produce the limited series and also served as the showrunner, with Fred Seibert and Sam Register in partnership with Cartoon Network. In interviews with The Direct and The Washington Post, Muto and Ryann Shannon explained that the crew decided to focus on Fionna and Cake due to their popularity with the Adventure Time fandom. Initially, Muto was concerned about working on another spin-off, given that sequels and reboots are often met with mixed success. To ensure that Fionna and Cake felt like its own production, the crew attempted to avoid "stepping on what [they had already] done before." The writers thus decided to ensure that the spin-off would be satisfying on its own and that it would focus on the characters' unique growth. While Distant Lands is a limited series of four loosely connected vignettes, Fionna and Cake is a more united story. When discussing how the production crew differentiated Fionna and Cake from the original Adventure Time series, Muto revealed that the crew members "were looking for ways to explore stories and characters that can be pretty different than Finn." While Finn is a selfless and energetic hero, Fionna is more ordinary and realistic, since she does not live in a world of magic and is not as skilled as a fighter. In this limited series, therefore, the writers "wanted to see where [Fionna would] go if she kind of knew about that magical world from the first series which had been denie....
