The key art for ‘Adventure Time: Side Quests.’ (Disney)
Adventure Time: Side Quests now has a streaming home and release date.
The upcoming animated TV series and latest Adventure Time spinoff will debut to Disney+ and Hulu on June 29.
Produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time: Side Quests was originally announced at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The original Adventure Time series ran for 10 seasons on Cartoon Network while its other spinoffs, Adventure Time: Distant Lands and Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, were released on HBO Max.
Billed as a companion to the original series, Adventure Time: Side Quests follows “young hero Finn and his magical dog best friend Jake as they embark on adventures across the fantastical land of Ooo — partying with cloud people and punching evil in the butt along the way,” according to its official synopsis.
This new series was designed to introduce a new generation of fans to the Adventure Time universe through what are described as lighter, self-contained adventures. It also strives to give “existing fans more of what they love” through standalone, “silly quests and playful challenges.”
Sasha Knight will take on the voice of Finn the Human while John DiMaggio returns to voice Jake the Dog. Fan-favorite characters Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline and BMO are also set to appear in the new series. They’re voiced by Tom Kenny, Hynden Walch, Olivia Olson and Niki Yang, respectively.
Nate Cash serves as showrunner and an executive producer on Adventure Time: Side Quests.
“Making Side Quests felt like making the original Adventure Time, which felt like hanging out with art school buddies making professional cartoons. That sounds like a big sandwich of feelings, and it was! You’re going to love these NEW adventures with Finn & Jake!” Cash said in a press release.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Now, this is what you call timing: Cody Johnson sits at #1 on Billboard Country Airplay with “The Fall,” on the heels of winning his first entertainer of the year trophy at Sunday’s 61st Academy of Country Music Awards.
It’s Cody’s 15th entry on the chart, dating back to 2016’s “With You I Am.” It’s also his third #1, following 2024’s “The Painter” and “‘Til You Can’t,” which stayed at the top for two weeks in 2022.
“The Fall” also makes the list of songs that have taken at least 55 weeks to rise to the top of the chart.
Justin Moore’s “Time’s Tickin'” from 2026 currently holds the all-time record with its 67-week journey. Travis Denning’s “After a Few” and Michael Ray’s “Whiskey and Rain” were the previous kings of the slow burn, having both taken 65 weeks to make it to the top.
In addition to snagging entertainer and male vocalist honors at the ACMs, Cody performed his version of “Travelin’ Soldier” ahead of Memorial Day weekend.

Paul McCartney was the musical guest on May 16’s Saturday Night Live, but ahead of the performance, the show finally gave fans a chance to relive one of his more iconic SNL appearances from the past.
Although it happened back in 1993, the show recently posted video to YouTube of McCartney’s appearance during The Chris Farley Show sketch, which basically had Farley geek out over the chance to interview the Beatles legend.
During the sketch, Farley peppers McCartney with questions like, “Remember when you were with The Beatles?” followed by a bunch of other “remember when” questions about his Beatles career, including the time he got arrested in Japan for pot, the hoax that claimed he had died and whether he meant it when he sang “the love you take is equal to the love you make” from The Beatles song “The End.”
The 1993 appearance was McCartney’s second time as musical guest on the late-night sketch show, and he performed three songs on the show: “Get Out of My Way” and “Biker Like an Icon” from the album Off the Ground, along with the Beatles classic “Hey Jude.”
McCartney’s Saturday appearance on SNL was his fifth time as musical guest on the show. He performed three songs on the episode, as well: The Boys of Dungeon Lane track “Days We Left Behind,” the Wings classic “Band on the Run” and his solo single “Coming Up.”
Dan + Shay are hitting the road this fall for the first time since 2024.
The Young Tour sets out Sept. 11 from Noblesville, Indiana, and wraps Nov. 7 in Mountain View, California. The 26-date itinerary focuses on the U.S., with a single Canadian date Oct. 1 in Toronto.
In an interesting twist, only Tyler Hubbard will open that show, while Canadian Josh Ross will open the previous one by himself Sept. 26 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Josh and Tyler will both be on the rest of the dates.
The trek is named for the pair’s new album, Young, which comes out Aug. 21.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney delivered the debut performance of their hit “Say So” during Sunday’s ACM Awards in Las Vegas.
Presales for The Young Tour start Tuesday, before tickets become available to the public on Friday.
Dan + Shay haven’t been on tour since 2024’s Heartbreak on the Map run.

(DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo.) — Colorado public health officials are investigating the death of an adult resident as a result of hantavirus.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Douglas County Health Department said the death is not linked to the outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship, which led to 11 confirmed and probable cases, including two confirmed deaths and one suspected death.
The individual lived in Douglas County — located just south of Denver — but information about the patient’s name, age and sex were not immediately available.
Health officials said the individual was infected by the Sin Nombre hantavirus, which is the most common cause of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in North America.
HPS symptoms typically appear from one to eight weeks after contact with the virus, with early signs including fever, fatigue and muscle aches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Half of HPS patients will experience headaches, chills, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.’
Between four and 10 days after the initial phase of illness, symptoms including coughing, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest can emerge, the CDC said, adding that a patient’s lungs can fill with fluid.
“Hantavirus infections caused by the Sin Nombre hantavirus occur regularly in Colorado, usually in the spring and summer, and can cause a severe and sometimes deadly respiratory disease,” according to public health officials. “In Colorado, the deer mouse is the rodent species that most commonly exposes people to the virus. Avoiding exposure to rodents and their urine, feces, saliva, and nesting materials is the best way to prevent infection.”
According to the CDC, there were six cases of Hantavirus in Colorado from 2020 to 2023.

If you watched Sir Paul McCartney’s performances on Saturday Night Live on May 16, you may have thought that his female backup singer looked familiar. Well, she should have: It was Ingrid Michaelson.
“The Way I Am” singer has explained on Instagram how she got that gig. “I got a call on a monday [May 11] to fill in in Sir Paul Mccartney’s band for that Saturday for @nbcsnl and proceeded to have 6 days of ‘what is my life????’” she writes.
“What an honor it has been to be inside this music that has shaped me. his band and crew and team are all as lovely as he,” she continues. “[A]nd he is lovely. just as you’d imagine. even lovelier i’d say. I will never forget these 6 days for the rest of my life. I wish my father could see me now. he’d be prouder than punch.”
Ingrid backed the Beatles legend on his new song, “Days Gone By,” as well as the Wings classic “Band on the Run” and his 1980 single “Coming Up.”
Ingrid’s most recent album, For the Dreamers, came out in 2024. That year, the Broadway musical The Notebook, for which she wrote the music and lyrics, premiered on Broadway and received three Tony nominations.
Ingrid is launching her Cozy Fall Trio tour on Oct. 9 in Tucson, Arizona, during which she will sing with Allie Moss and Hannah Winkler.

Bette Midler is set to lend her voice to Netflix’s upcoming animated film Steps, which reimagines the classic fairy tale Cinderella.
Midler will voice Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother in the flick, which will also feature the voices of Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella and Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu as her evil stepsisters Lilith and Margot.
“The beloved Fairy Godmother, the wholesome Fairy Godmother — the one with all the good intentions — has been around for a long, long time,” says Midler. “This particular version of the Fairy Godmother has good intentions, but she’s a little bit of a bumbler, and she’s a little bit of a schemer.”
She adds, “I’m thrilled to be part of this film! And I’m thrilled to be with this cast!”
The film reimagines the relationship between Cinderella and her stepsisters, who have to team up to save their kingdom after Lilith’s actions at the Royal Ball put their kingdom under the tyrannical rule of the villainous Priscilla, who has taken over the throne.
The film’s director Alyce Tzue notes, “This story is, at its core, about two very different sisters — one who fits perfectly into this fairy tale kingdom and one who doesn’t — realizing they’re more alike than different.”

(NEW YORK) — The judge overseeing Luigi Mangione’s state murder case ruled Monday that certain evidence seized from his backpack during a search at the Pennsylvania McDonald’s where he was arrested must be suppressed, while evidence seized at the stationhouse in Altoona, Pennsylvania — including the alleged murder weapon — will be allowed.
New York Judge Gregory Carro determined Mangione’s backpack was not in a “grabbable area” while he was detained by Altoona police in the McDonald’s.
“The search of the backpack at the McDonald’s was an improper warrantless search,” Carro said.
“Therefore, the evidence found during the search of the backpack at the McDonald’s must be suppressed, including the magazine, cellphone, passport, wallet and computer chip,” he said.
Carro decided the subsequent search of the backpack at the stationhouse “as a valid inventory search,” so the items discovered there, including the alleged 3D-printed gun used, a notebook and handwritten slips of paper with purported escape routes, will be allowed at trial.
Prosecutors have said Mangione’s notebook entries speak to motive.
“The target is insurance,” one entry said. “It checks every box.”
Certain statements Mangione made to Altoona officers will be suppressed, including his response when he was asked why he had initially given a false name.
Statements Mangione made to two Pennsylvania corrections officers are allowed, including a wide-ranging conversation about healthcare, overseas travel and literature. Mangione asked one of the officers how he was being perceived in the media for his alleged crime and expressed a desire to make a public statement.
Mangione attended Monday’s hearing wearing a dark suit. He sat at the defense table as two court officers stood behind him. A small group of Mangione’s supporters, some in “Free Luigi” shirts, watched from the back rows.
Mangione’s state trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 8 for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and Carro’s decision will help define the contours of the high-profile criminal trial.
Defense lawyers have argued that the search of the backpack without a warrant violated Mangione’s rights, and have repeatedly urged Carro to block prosecutors from using the evidence.
“At the hearing, Altoona law enforcement officers repeatedly attempted to justify their warrantless search of Mr. Mangione’s backpack … instead, all these officers demonstrated was an utter disregard for a defendant’s constitutional rights and a shocking ignorance of basic search and seizure caselaw,” Mangione’s attorneys wrote in a state court filing.
Lawyers from the Manhattan district attorney’s office pushed back on those claims, arguing the officers acted “in deliberate and painstaking fashion” when they searched the backpack.
“At every step, the Altoona officers responded to this unexpected and alarming situation reasonably,” Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann wrote in a court filing, adding that officers later obtained a warrant for the bag “establishing an independent source for recovering the backpack’s contents.”
Mangione pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges after he was arrested for allegedly gunning down Thompson, a husband and father of two, on a Midtown Manhattan street in December 2024.
As Mangione prepares for his upcoming state trial in September, his supporters continue to fund part of his legal defense. Earlier this month, on Mangione’s 28th birthday, his legal defense fund surpassed $1.5 million.

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a U.S. tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1995 album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
The trek, dubbed The Rats in a Cage tour after the lyric from the song “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” will kick off Sept. 30 in Columbus, Ohio, and concludes Nov. 12 in Los Angeles.
Each show will consist of two sets. The first will feature a full-album performance of Mellon Collin and the Infinite Sadness, and the second will include songs from throughout the Pumpkins’ four-decade career.
“Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas,” frontman Billy Corgan says in a statement.
Presales begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit SmashingPumpkins.com.
Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness marked the third Pumpkins album and spawned the singles “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” “1979,” “Tonight, Tonight” and “Zero.” It’s been certified Diamond by the RIAA, signifying 10 million units certified.
The Pumpkins teased the tour announcement with a livestreamed concert Sunday, which served as a “funeral” for Corgan’s “Zero” character.
