Adventure Time: Side Quests Season 2 Drops First Trailer and Poster, Returning Finn and Jake to the Lands of Ooo

IGN has exclusively unveiled the first trailer and official poster for Season 2 of Adventure Time: Side Quests, sending fans of the beloved Cartoon Network franchise back into the wild, wonderful lands of Ooo with a fresh batch of misadventures. The announcement arrives as the companion series continues its run of bite-sized, character-driven episodes, and the new footage promises even stranger side quests than the first season — from wrestling toads to facing off against baby gladiators and getting tangled up in one too many magic spells. According to the official synopsis, “no side quest is too strange, too small, or too dangerous to take on,” setting the tone for what promises to be another season of chaotic fun.

For those unfamiliar with the format, Adventure Time: Side Quests operates as a spin-off companion to the award-winning original series that defined a generation of animated storytelling. Rather than retelling the sprawling saga of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, the Side Quests series focuses on smaller, self-contained adventures that explore the corners of the Ooo universe the main show never got around to. This approach has allowed the showrunners to lean into the franchise’s signature sense of whimsy while introducing new comedic beats that resonate with both longtime fans and newcomers.

A Full Voice Cast and Seasoned Creative Team

The trailer confirms the return of the original voice ensemble, ensuring that the emotional and comedic heart of the franchise remains intact. Sasha Knight voices Finn the Human, while John DiMaggio — the legendary voice behind Jake the Dog — returns to bring the shape-shifting dog his trademark charm. The cast is rounded out by Tom Kenny as the Ice King, Hynden Walch as Princess Bubblegum, Olivia Olson as Marceline, and Niki Yang as the beloved robot BMO.

Behind the scenes, the creative team carries the weight of the series with a roster of veteran writers and directors. Nate Cash serves as the series’ Executive Producer and Showrunner, working alongside Supervising Director Victor Courtright. The directing duties are split among Niki Yang, Katie Aldworth, and Rose Feduk, while Story Editor Darrick Bachman and Art Director Nick Cross help shape the narrative and visual identity. Composer Matthew Janszen returns to score the season, promising the same nostalgic, adventurous soundtrack that has become synonymous with the show.

“Finn and Jake are back for more adventure and even more side quests across the wild, wonderful land of Ooo. Wrestling toads, facing baby gladiators, and getting tangled up in one too many magic spells, it’s clear no side quest is too strange, too small, or too dangerous to take on.”

Official Synopsis

The synopsis alone has already sparked excitement among the fanbase, with many noting how the show’s willingness to embrace absurdity — from gladiator babies to toad wrestling — is exactly what made the original series so enduring. The Side Quests format has proven particularly well-suited to this kind of experimentation, allowing the writers to push the characters into scenarios that would feel out of place in a longer-form narrative.

Looking Ahead

While the trailer and poster mark the first major reveal for Season 2, the showrunners have not yet disclosed a specific release date, leaving fans to speculate about when the new episodes will land. Given the series’ streaming-first approach and the production schedule typical of the franchise, a rollout in the coming months appears likely, though official confirmation is still pending.

For now, the community has responded with enthusiasm, with the trailer quickly circulating across social media platforms and fan forums. Viewers have praised the return of familiar voices and the promise of new comedic territory, with many expressing hope that Season 2 will build on the momentum of the first season. As the trailer plays out, one thing is clear: the Lands of Ooo have plenty of side quests left to explore, and Finn and Jake are ready to tackle them all.
