‘Adventure Time: Fionna And Cake’ Showrunner Adam Muto On Creating The Spin-Off & Making The Scarab To Avoid “Retreading What’s Been Done” In Multiverse Stories
Showrunner Adam Muto on bringing 'Fionna and Cake' into their own series, creating the Scarab and the future of 'Adventure Time'.
After the success of the original series, it was no surprise when Adventure Time: Distant Lands came to HBO Max in 2020 to flesh out some of the stories that were left to tell. While Fionna spends her days at dead-end jobs and nights dreaming of magical lands, she and Cake are thrown into a multiverse-adventure when Simon Petrikov (Tom Kenny), formerly the Ice King, accidentally summons them to Ooo. Just presenting it as there being other dimensions isn’t necessarily enough of a draw, so we wanted a villain that could drive them through different multiverse-hopping stuff, but also have a perspective that other characters wouldn’t have, like his relationship to Prismo.
