HBO Max has greenlit four new one-hour Adventure Time specials, titled Adventure Time: Distant Lands, which will premiere exclusively on the streamer, with the first two coming in 2020.

The four new specials continue the Adventure Time stories of unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buds who traversed the mystical Land of Ooo and encountered its colorful inhabitants. The show originally aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018.

“Adventure Time was a groundbreaking series and a creative playground for so many talented creative artists,” said Rob Sorcher, chief content officer at Cartoon Network Studios. “Producing Adventure Time: Distant Lands for HBO Max will allow our studio to explore this beloved world in an all-new format.”
