When the original Adventure Time premiered on Cartoon Network in 2010, fans were treated to eight years of wacky, whimsical fun following Finn the Human and Jake the Dog as they embarked on adventures across the land of Ooo. Now, after popular spinoffs like Fionna and Cake found their own success, the original duo returns with Adventure Time: Side Quests.

Disney Plus and Hulu have announced that Adventure Time: Side Quests will premiere in the U.S. on June 29. The series is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Nate Cash (SpongeBob SquarePants), with Darrick Bachman (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) serving as story editor, Victor Courtright and Niki Yang as directors, Nick Cross as art director, and Matthew Janszen as composer.

The series will serve as a companion to the original Adventure Time, featuring brand-new adventures for Finn (formerly voiced by Jeremy Shada and now voiced by Sasha Knight) and Jake (voiced by John DiMaggio) that aim to “capture the spirit” of the show’s earlier years. While Adventure Time went on to include traditional, episode-spanning story arcs, Side Quests looks as though it will contain far more self-contained adventures. The new series aims to introduce a new generation of fans to the world of Ooo while still appealing to older fans eager to jump back into the franchise they grew up with.

    I just don’t really see the point when the spinoff is successful. Don’t Finn and Jake already make appearances in that?
