What to Expect in ‘Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake’ Season 2
As fans count down to the return of the action-adventure, we’ve learned a bit of what can be expected, mainly more focus on Fionna’s original universe. Series showrunnerAdam Mutosaid as much earlier this summer at theAnnecy International Film Festival, where he discussed the new season. Confirming the Huntress Wizard’s expanded role inAdventure Time: Fionna and Cake,Muto stated that they are planning to focus far more on Fionna’s own world, meaning the trio might just be the strangest characters of the series. “This time,we wanted to keep most of the adventures in Fiona’s world,” he said of the upcoming change. “And I thought that would make it more normal, but it’s still pretty strange. And that’s kind of baked into ‘Adventure Time’ DNA.”
A release date forAdventure Time: Fionna and CakeSeason 2 is yet to be announced. Stay tuned to Collider to find out more details about the adult animation’s return.
