Oh my glob. Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time is set to end in 2018, following the finale of its ninth season.
Deadline reports that the consistently weird, occasionally heartbreaking travels of Finn and Jake will come to a close in approximately two years - although we have a fair few new episodes, miniseries and a movie to come before then.
“Adventure Time was a passion project for the people on the crew who poured their heart into the art and stories," said Pendleton Ward in a statement. "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.”
It's unclear whether the decision was Ward's, Cartoon Network's, or a mutual agreement.
If you want a marker for just how important Adventure Time has become, just look at what it's spawned, from video games to LEGO sets, even becoming a Simpsons couch gag opener.
We also named it 15th best animated show for adults of all time, calling it a "wonderful, whimsical delight" where "part of it feels like a dream, the rest a nightmare."
