The miniseries will be produced by Cartoon Network, but no word on whether or not Pendleton Ward or the original voice cast have signed on. The press release did include some basic details about the episodes…
BMO – 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 this time, it is. Premieres in 2020.
Obsidian – Marceline and Princess Bubblegum journey to the Glass Kingdom — and deep into their tumultuous past — to prevent an earthshaking catastrophe. Premieres in 2020.
Wizard City – This episode centers on Peppermint Butler, starting over at the beginning as just another inexperienced Wizard School student. Mysterious events on campus cast suspicion on Pep and his checkered past; can he master the mystic arts in time to prove he’s innocent? Premiere date TBD.
Together Again – reunites Finn and Jake to rediscover their brotherly bond and embark on the most important adventure of their lives. Premiere date TBD.
