Back in October, it was announced that Adventure Time would be returning! However, not in a traditional revival sense. Rather four animated specials, each of about an hour in length, will release exclusively on the HBO Max streaming service in 2020. Adventure Time was all about the adventures of a human named Finn and his shapeshifter dog Jake.
The pair reside in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo with a plethora of other eccentric characters such as Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Peppermint Butler, BMO, and many more. It's those specific characters that will be at the centre of each of the upcoming specials. BMO is the star of the first.
Cartoon Network recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of Adventure Time with a livestream on Twitch. Said livestream concluded with the network debuting a teaser for HBO Max and Adventure Time: Distant Lands. It seems to be something of an intro sequence for the specials.
The clip concludes with "BMO" on-screen as the lovable robot character sings a cute song about space. "Some people say that space is lonely, silent, empty, sparkling, and immense," the song goes (via ComicBook.com). Thankfully, a Twitter user and fan of Adventure Time was able to record the teaser and promptly share it on social media. So, you can check it out for yourself below:
BMO follows the lovable little robot from Adventure Time. When there's a deadly space emergency in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, there's only one hero to call, and it's probably not BMO. Except that this time it is!
• Obsidian features Marceline & Princess Bubblegum as they journey to the imposing, beautiful Glass Kingdom—and deep into their tumultuous past—to prevent an earthshaking catastrophe.
• Wizard City follows Peppermint Butler, starting over at the beginning, as just another inexperienced Wizard School student. When mysterious events at the campus cast suspicion on Pep, and his checkered past, can he master the mystic arts in time to prove his innocence?
• Together Again brings Finn and Jake together again, to rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives.
