(Actually, I'm okay with this and I'm excited to see what they do to wrap up the story.)

There it is. I'm not surprised really. But yeah, should be cool to see how it all wraps up.

Man, all these ending announcements
Sad to see it go but better to go out while it's quality is still up there. Plus CN sure gave us plenty of time to get used to it ending heh.
Wonder what this also means for the film.
It's a bit sad but we still have plenty to look forward to and it seems to be wrapping up on its own terms, so I can't really complain. It's already been a good run.
Hope we'll still get a special or two afterwards though, I don't want to say goodbye to the AT universe forever. (Lookin at you, Avatar ;_; )

I haven't been able to find the full press release yet, but various articles quote it:
I wonder if the movie will come after the finale, too... or maybe the movie IS the finale.

I'm hoping we get a really sweet complete series box set at the end. I'd buy it at a high price.
Yeah, I know, I counted that as stuff to look forward to!
Just meant I hope I'll be able to look forward to the occasional other special in the years to come, CN has done stuff like that before.
Movie being the finale would be hype

Words can't describe how sad I am about the ending. I guess it's better to end it at a point when they feel to instead of dragging it out forever and having the quality dip. I hope they still revisit through video games and minseries and comics even after the show ends. I would hate for the world to completely end with the show.

I'm incredibly sad about this.The show seems to be going out on its own terms, so I'm actually pretty happy about this news. 9 seasons is a long runtime, and I'd rather see the show end well than drag on.
I am worried about CN though. I have no idea if the network has anything in the works that could possibly draw in these kinds of audiences.

It would be great if they could hang on to some of the talent from AT. There have been some awesome people involved.

Steven Universe will probably keep its audience, even if it's never drawn the kind of ratings AT did at its peak.
Hopefully they'll start putting out season sets.

These are the brownies Leslie made us, after she poured a bottle of wine in me, after Adam called to tell me that Adventure Time was ending.
AT was the best job I’ve ever had, I am in love the show and this is for sure a difficult goodbye. November 2011 Leslie and I got engaged and I emailed Pen and said like “you know the boarding job I turned down a while back, can I do that.” because I was going to be a husband and I needed a career.
So this job has been very exactly our entire marriage, (I even think that we started dating about the time when I started doing revision work on Adventure Time.) What a tough goodbye!
Thank you to everyone I’ve worked with, (I can’t think of anyone I’ve worked closely with who I didn’t love), but especially thank you to Adam and Pen. I feel very lucky.
BUT while production is packing up, 2018 is a long ways away and I’m in love the episodes that are coming. Some really hot stuff.
EDIT: As does Sam Alden

All of adventure time is on hulu plus right? I binged watched everything up to season six earlier this year
According to Zap2it and the CN leaker Preboot is scheduled to air October 26, which falls on a Wednesday:
For now take it with a grain of salt until we get more confirmation, plenty of time for things to change in the interim.
Some more well-wishing from former and current AT staff:
The King of Ooo blog has spent the last few weeks posting all kinds of assets from Season 6 and 7 production: backgrounds, concept artwork, storyboard excerpts as well as complete episode boards and model sheets.
They also released a storyboard panel presumably from Reboot:

Exclusive Adventure Time Music of Ooo vinyl album available at ThinkGeek
Pretty sure this is the first time an official physical soundtrack had been made available for purchase (there's also a digital version available on iTunes). Granted, they're mostly just the short songs taken from the show and not longer versions recorded just for the LP (although I noticed a distinct lack of Bury You With My Sound/I'm Just Your Problem). Pretty neat collector's item, though.
Gonna restrain myself and just get the Finn colored one. (Famous last words.)

Looks like BOOM! Studios is going to publish another AT comic miniseries starring the little bunny girl Marceline befriended in the past in Stakes!:
From the sounds of things it's going to directly connect with a Season 8 AT miniseries plot. There was that short season description from several weeks ago when they were hyping up Daddy-Daughter Card Wars:
Those uncharted lands could be the "islands" the comic will be focusing on. Possibly the place other humans escaped to to get away from the vampires. Pen Ward did once say long ago that fear of the ocean was the only thing keeping Finn from venturing outside of Ooo.

Adventure Time: Islands cover by Braden Lamb & Shelli Paroline
Coming this November! ADVENTURE TIME: ISLANDS, an original graphic novel from artist Diigii Daguna and AT writer Ashly Burch. Its mostly a self-contained story but it will also tie in to our next miniseries.

Small update: zap2it.com now has an airdate (November 26th, on a Saturday no less so not sure if accurate) and synopsis listed for Reboot hidden away on its site. It's a little spoilery if you saw the preview clip for Preboot that CN uploaded a while back as well as at least one of the storyboards shared by the King of Ooo blog so I'm just going to link to it for now:

EDIT: Cartoon Network Turkey's youtube channel has uploaded a preview clip from the episode Reboot. Somewhat spoilery, only serves to prove what was speculated before about the synopsis. However, it's in Turkish so no idea what anyone is saying:

it would appear that the 'powerful ally gone rogue' could be Susan Strong.

Apparently there was an AT panel w/ Kent Osborne (storyboard artist) at Comic Con London this weekend.
Someone over on reddit posted his impressions of the panel:
In other news, it seems some international CN affiliates are or may have already aired both Preboot and Reboot. There's one account of them having been aired in Africa last Wednesday, and polish CN has it listed to air November 9th and 10th.

According to this article on The Geekiary, the season 7 finale episodes Preboot and Reboot will air back-to-back on November 19th.
It's actually pretty common among children TV Networks. It makes no seance, but it is what it is.

It's Cartoon Network. Their scheduling is the most slapdash shit in television between week long bombs, month long bombs, months of hiatuses and, very rarely, traditional weekly scheduling...
They want something new to premiere for the week(end) before Thanksgiving but assumed season 8 episodes wouldn't be ready by then so they withheld the last two episodes of s7 instead. CN gotta CN.
To be fair, it's not just CN that has absurd schedules. Disney and Nickelodeon have had bad scheduling issues for a lot longer than CN, believe it or not.
No. I feel that even people who weren't into the whole meteor storyline have been liking the episodes this season.
Two more articles about the November CN premieres: 1 | 2
Includes official screenshot of... something happening... and the long missing Preboot synopsis:
Saturday, Nov. 19: “Preboot” –

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anymore AT premieres this month.
EDIT: Hm, a Comixology synopsis of the upcoming AT comic mini-series "Islands" seemingly reveals what the rumoured Season 8 Finn-centered miniseries will be about:

Nice callback to Flute Spell. I guess it was permanent.
EDIT: Tom Herpich has put up what I assume is promo art and a foreword:
EDIT: It's a little unsettling that we're just days away from the season 7 finale of Adventure Time and CN hasn't aired any bumpers advertising it. Some sneak peeks, title cards and conceptual artworks yes... but all of it online and sporadic. How about letting your main demographics know something's happening this Saturday, CN?
Anyway, apparently there's going to be a Season 8 episode titled "Marcy and Hunson".

It’s been a long while (about 5 months!), but we’re finally back on the 19th to air our season finale… and then go on hiatus again. But then I think we’ll be back early next year for season 8. Lots of cool stuff coming up, but it’s hard to pick and choose, cuz starting with Preboot and Reboot, everything starts rolling into one big snowball that rolls and rolls all the way to the end, which is what we’re all working on right now. Steve and I are wrapping up our final board EVER, and it’s great- one of my favorites. It feels like we got to put everything we’ve learned up to now into it. A real nice note to end on.

Gentle reminder that the season finale airs tomorrow.

Reboot premieres this Saturday! Written and boarded by Adam and me. Its one of my favorite episodes I worked on and I even got to write a short song for it. Check it out!
Hearing from various sources that the Season 7 finale may have been bumped up to 8:00PM instead of 8:30PM. Ain't that some shit. CN, your handling of this has been nothing short of a colossal fuck-up on all fronts. When fans have to go on social websites and mock up their own promos to advertise the show's return you know something is wrong with your approach.
