Ten seasons, four specials, a sequel series, a prequel series, and nobody can agree how many episodes there are.

Where to start with Adventure Time

Start at season one of the series and go forward. Side Quests is chronologically the earliest thing here and is still the wrong place to begin: it is written for people who already know these characters.

  1. 1
    Adventure Time, seasons 1 to 10 (2010 to 2018) Adventure Time

    In order. It starts as throwaway comedy and quietly turns into something else around season three, and the long arcs Stakes, Islands and Elements sit inside seasons seven, eight and nine.

  2. 2
    Adventure Time: Distant Lands (2020 to 2021) Adventure Time: Distant Lands

    Four specials after the finale, in release order. Together Again in particular reads as an epilogue to the whole thing, so leave it to last of the four.

  3. 3
    Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake (2023 to 2025) Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake

    The sequel series, and chronologically last. It is built on the condition the finale left Simon in, so it genuinely wants everything above first.

  4. 4
    Adventure Time: Side Quests (2026) Adventure Time: Side Quests

    A prequel about Finn and Jake as children. Watch it whenever you like after the main series; it is a return visit, not an entry point.

Then what? A second season of Side Quests is due on 2 October 2026. An Adventure Time film and a preschool series called Heyo BMO were both announced in June 2024 with no dates, and a series called Bubblegum and Marceline was ordered by HBO Max in June 2026, also with no date. None of them is listed, because none of them has one.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
