The Land of Ooo is back—and this time, Cartoon Network is answering the burning questions about one of its coolest and most mysterious residents; Marceline the Vampire Queen. “Stakes,” an eight-part journey into the diary of Marceline the Vampire Queen, is the latest in a long line of must-see’s from the prolific, Emmy® and Peabody Award-winning Adventure Time team. Viewers can sink their teeth into “Stakes” with a four-night special event beginning Monday, November 16 and concluding Thursday, November 19 at 8 p.m. (ET, PT) on Cartoon Network.
Marceline the Vampire Queen wishes to be an undead, red-sucker no more, but can Princess Bubblegum concoct a cure? At the same time, five of Marceline’s most fearsome foes return from her past. What might her most powerful nemesis, the Vampire King, have in store? Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum and their friends join the Vampire Queen’s fight against her immortal enemies. But for Marceline, the stakes have never been higher throughout these eight special episodes of Adventure Time!
