HBO Max Orders 10-Episode Adventure Time Spinoff Bubblegum and Marceline

Reuniting showrunner Adam Muto with longtime franchise producers, the serialized series signals HBO Max's push to expand the Adventure Time universe.

Overview

  • HBO Max gave a straight-to-series 10-episode order for Adventure Time: Bubblegum and Marceline that was announced June 24 at the Annecy Animation Festival and the project is currently in the writing phase.
  • The series is described in an official logline as following Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen as they "journey across the farthest reaches of Ooo, encountering familiar faces and new dangers."
  • Emmy-winning Adam Muto will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Fred Seibert and Sam Register also credited as executive producers and Cartoon Network Studios partnering on production.
  • No release date has been announced and the involvement of original voice actors Hynden Walch and Olivia Olson remains unconfirmed in public statements.
  • The pickup extends Warner Bros. Discovery's wider strategy of expanding Adventure Time across multiple platforms by favoring a serialized, multi-episode story for this spinoff rather than the standalone format used in concurrent projects.
