Adventure Time: Side Quests Revives Finn and Jake
The series reunites original creators and most of the voice cast and signals a shift of the franchise to Disney's streaming platforms ahead of a global rollout.
Overview
- Adventure Time: Side Quests will debut on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States on June 29, with international broadcasts and streaming on Cartoon Network and HBO Max scheduled for October 5.
- Showrunner Nate Cash leads the revival with returning production talent to recreate the early seasons’ episodic, lower‑stakes tone rather than the later lore‑heavy arcs.
- Most original voice actors return, including John DiMaggio as Jake and Tom Kenny as Ice King, while Sasha Knight is newly cast as a younger Finn in place of Jeremy Shada.
- Promotional sneak peeks highlight standalone comic beats such as a crossbow gag that plays for slapstick chaos, and prior coverage noted a brief, unresolved early availability of episodes on Disney+.
- The series aims to introduce a new generation to the Land of Ooo and could extend the franchise’s reach on streaming platforms while offering longtime fans a nostalgic, companion‑style return.
