The 'Fionna & Cake' Trailer Promises a 'Bigger and Crazier' Season 2
At New York Comic Con, the Adventure Time saga continued with a look at season two of Fionna & Cake, which premiered to attendees with its first episode. The trailer for the upcoming season promises "bigger and crazier" adventures for the titular duo.
According to a statement from the show's creators, the new season will see Fionna and Cake partying and living it up in their world as famous heroes after saving the multiverse in season one. However, their celebrations are short-lived as they face a princess invasion, beasts to slay, and team-ups with now-adult Finn.
The trailer also teases the introduction of Huntress Princess (voiced by Ashly Burch), who is on her own quest that could put the land of Ooo and the multiverse in jeopardy. The season will feature epic battles, drum solos, and banana guards, as Fionna tries to adjust to her new status.
"Fionna & Cake is a show about two best friends navigating their way through the world," said creator Rebecca Sugar. "In this new season, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in our world and exploring even more fantastical realms."
The first episode of Fionna & Cake premiered at New York Comic Con, with new episodes airing every Thursday on HBO Max starting October 23. The season will conclude on December 25.
