Cartoon Network Animated Series ADVENTURE TIME to End After 9th Season

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cartoon Network long-running animated series ADVENTURE TIME will end following its ninth season which is currently in production. The final season is scheduled to debut in 2018.

Winner of six Emmy Awards, the show follows "unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants as they find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades."

Commented Rob Sorcher, chief content officer for Cartoon Network, "Adventure Time changed the definition of what a kids' TV series could be, and it's had a resounding impact upon popular culture around the world. Cartoon Network Studios is proud to have brought together this group of brilliant artists and animators who helped make ADVENTURE TIME one of the most critically acclaimed TV series of a generation."

Added series creator Pendleton Ward: "Adventure Time was a passion project for the people on the crew who poured their heart into the art and stories. We tried to put into every episode something genuine and telling from our lives, and make a show that was personal to us, and that had jokes too! I'm really happy that it connected with an audience for so long. It's a special thing, I think."

Andy Samberg, Matthew Broderick, Laura Silverman, George Takei, Rainn Wilson, and Neil Patrick Harris are among the A-listers who have lent their voice to the cult series.
