The fifth season of American animated television series Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward, originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States. The series is based on a short produced for Frederator's Nicktoons Network animation incubator series Random! Cartoons. The season debuted on November 12, 2012. The season is scheduled to have around 52 episodes; this makes it twice the length of any of the previous seasons of the show. The season was storyboarded and written by Tom Herpich, Jesse Moynihan, Cole Sanchez, Rebecca Sugar, Steve Wolfhard, Skyler Page, Somvilay Xayaphone, Ako Castuera, Michael DeForge, Kent Osborne, David OReilly, Ward, Graham Falk, Thomas Wellmann, Luke Pearson, Seo Kim, and Ristaino. The season also featured OReilly and James Baxter as guest animators in the episodes "A Glitch is a Glitch" and "James Baxter the Horse", respectively. It was produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios. The series is rated TV-PG. The first episode of the fifth season was the two-parter episode "Finn the Human" and "Jake the Dog", both of which aired on November 12, 2012. The episode was viewed by 3.435 million viewers; this marked a dramatic increase from the previous season's premiere and finale. The season has been met with largely positive critical reception. In June 2013, the series was nominated for "Best Animated Series" at the 2013 Critics' Choice Television Awards, although it did not win.
