Adventure Time's Quest Will End in 2018

Adventure Time, Cartoon Network's cult favorite cartoon about the adventures of Finn the human and Jake the dog in the Land of Ooo, has been given a sunset date. The series will end in 2018 after nine seasons, Deadline reports.

The series premiered in 2010, and quickly became a lynchpin of Cartoon Network's lineup beloved by kids and adults. It's won six Emmys, two BAFTAs and a Peabody over the course of its run and featured celebrity guest-voice appearances by Andy Samberg, Matthew Broderick and Neil Patrick Harris, among many others.

Adventure Time, which is currently in its seventh season, will continue through a ninth season on Cartoon Network, and will produce miniseries and specials as well. A feature film is in development.

"Adventure Time was a passion project for the people on the crew who poured their heart into the art and stories," creator Pendleton Ward said. "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."

This is the second cancellation of a long-running Cartoon Network series this month: The network announced that Regular Show will end in 2017 after its eighth season.
