Marceline the Vampire Queen has long been one of the most fascinating character on Adventure Time . And now , it look like we ’re going to be getting our most in - depth look at her backstory yet , with a new miniseries . We caught our first glimpse at New York Comic Con .
Season seven of Adventure Time return November 2nd with regular episode , but on November 14th a Marceline eigth - part miniseries , “ stake , ” will debut . Executive manufacturer Adam Muto explained that Marceline ’s history will be a “ long form consequence ” and take a chance to tell antecedently undiscovered backstories , like how she got her lamia powers .
The set - up for the miniseries is that an experiment on Marceline ( to make her no longer a lamia ) goes incorrect , and Marceline ’s dark secret are exposed . We saw the first two episode — so some spoiler for “ Stakes ” before .
In the first episode , Princess Bubblegum has created a vampire cure involve potions and a auto , and Marceline decides she no longer wants to be a lamia — that she is ready to “ grow up ” and eventually die as a human . Marceline takes the remedy , and it will take a few days to see if it work . Through a sequence of events , Marceline is bemuse into flashback - mode , and we see her as a young minor with her female parent ( her female parent is voice by Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar , and sings a song composed by Sugar ) .
We then see Marceline in several successive eras of her life , from childhood through a punk - rock adolescence to her days of hunt down other vampires and produce their powers . The second installment terminate with the hypnotism that the curative for vampirism has worked , just when the creepy-crawly Vampire King and his posse are threatening the present - day Land of Ooo and Marceline ’s friends are in danger . The miniseries seems like an in - profoundness character geographic expedition , and longtime fans of Adventure Time wo n’t be surprised at the worked up complexness beneath the surface of humor and fantastic fight scenes .
The panel also answer devotee ’ burning questions . One fan asked about the hypothesis that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum are girlfriends . Muto diplomatically answered that “ a hypothesis can neither be real nor unreal , ” not capable to corroborate or deny a democratic buff “ ship . ”
We also learned that there will be another sex - swapped episode in time of year 7 , mean the return of Fionna and Cake — as well as a half - hour holiday special about Beemo that will be “ an worked up story . ” Another buff asked if the show ever plans to premise Finn ’s mom ; we learn that this is an theme that ’s being look at for season eight .
After getting philosophical in season six , featuring battles against cosmic deity and the alike , the creators say that Adventure Time will be returning to its roots with mere stories focused on the principal character . From what we view of Marceline ’s vampiric odyssey , they ’re off to a flaming adept startle .
