Fionna and Cake Season 2: Updates and Everything You Need to Know (2024)


by Banks Onuoha

Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake Season 1 concluded with abundant opportunities for a second season. From the depth of its characters to the representation of the queer community, the debut outing stood out in several ways, igniting fresh excitement among the Adventure Time fandom for Fionna and Cake season 2. The first season premiered on Max in August 2023 and quickly became a fan favorite for its unique perspective. For starters, the series swapped the genders of Finn and Jake and explored mature themes without straying away from the original show. The novel elements Fionna and Cake brought to the franchise allow for a meaningful expansion of the Adventure Time universe.

With season one’s success, season 2 is poised to introduce more viewers to Pendleton Ward’s groundbreaking animated fantasy. Adventure Time was first produced as a 2007 short film for Nickelodeon before it was developed into a series for Cartoon Network. The series premiered on April 5, 2010, and concluded on September 3, 2018, with a total of 10 seasons. It has since spawned a media franchise with several assets tied to it, including a movie, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and spinoff series. As the third series in the franchise, Fionna and Cake season 2 is set to further consolidate Adventure Time’s enduring legacy.

MAX renewed the young adult animated series for another season in December 2023. So, Fionna and her talking cat best friends will return for another exciting adventure. Greenlighting Fionna and Cake season 2 reinforces MAX’s commitment to an innovative expansion of the Adventure Time universe. Cartoon Network Studios will also produce the upcoming season, with Adam Muto as the showrunner and executive producer. The American animator and storyboard artist is excited to helm another season of the adult animated series. Reacting to Max’s decision to renew the series, Muto thanked the streaming service alongside the show’s creator and the Adventure Time fandom.

“To know that the show will continue into a second season feels both wonderful and frankly surreal,” he said. Suzanna Makkos, the executive vice president of original comedy and adult animation for Max and Adult Swim shares Muto’s enthusiasm. “As proud stewards of the belovedAdventure Timebrand, we have been delighted to dig deeper into the world through the Fionna and Cake lens,” she said. “We look forward to following them on the next chapter of their journey,” added Makkos.

The anticipated sophomore season of the adult animated series is still in the early stage of development. As such, Fionna and Cakeseason 2 has no official release date yet. Nevertheless, it would be unrealistic to hope for a 2024 release date. The earliest possible release date for Fionna and Cake season 2 should be in 2025. There was a two-year waiting period between when season 1 was greenlit (August 8, 2021) and when it premiered (August 31, 2023). If MAX stick with that time frame, fans should expect the second season to premiere sometime in December 2025.

What To Expect From The New Season

Fionna and Cake season 1 concluded with several unresolved mysteries about some characters and the land of Ooo. This leaves a variety of story opportunities for season 2 to explore. While there’s no official synopsis for the new season, it will continue to follow the alternative versions of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog from the original series. The first season saw Fionna and Cake embark on a soul-searching, multiverse adventure alongside the former Ice King, Simon Petrikov. After evading several threats and putting up a decent fight against Scarab, who’s bent on erasing their universe, Fionna and Simon come to terms with themselves.

While the season ended with an emphatic defeat of Scarab, it left so many unanswered questions which could inform the events inFionna and Cake season 2. For instance, theupcoming series might dig into the power structure in the universe and reveal more about The Boss: an unseen character superior to Orbo and Prismo, who was mentioned in a few episodes. It could also give a background to Scarab’s grudge against Prismo and find more reason behind the antagonist’s quest to become the Wishmaster. Another interesting exposition for season 2 could revolve around the history between Orbo and Prismo. Why is Orbo protective of Prismo? What informs his friendly attitude towards the wish-granting deity that created the unauthorized Fionna and Cake universe?
