DIPPER, MABEL AND GRUNKLE STAN TO RETURN FOR MORE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL ADVENTURES AS DISNEY CHANNEL ORDERS SECOND SEASON OF “GRAVITY FALLS”
— SUBWAY(R) Restaurants to Feature “Gravity Falls”-Themed SUBWAY Fresh Fit for Kids Meals throughout the Month of August —
A second season of the hit Disney Channel series “Gravity Falls” has been ordered, it was announced today by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation. The animated comedy, created and executive-produced by Alex Hirsch, follows twin brother and sister Dipper (voiced by Jason Ritter) and Mabel Pines (voiced by Kristen Schaal) as they spend summer with their eccentric great uncle Stan (voiced by Hirsch), in the wondrous town of Gravity Falls. The series’ growing fan base looks for the unique “secret message” at the end of each episode’s credits. The key for decoding the message is incorporated in various episodes.
In making the announcement, Coleman said, “‘Gravity Falls’ is mystery, comedy and weird all rolled into one unique show – there is nothing else like it. Alex Hirsch and his team have crafted a show with memorable characters, multi-layered stories, and production values that are rarely seen in television animation.”
Throughout the month of August, Disney and SUBWAY(R) restaurants, the world’s largest restaurant chain, will bring fans “Gravity Falls” characters and promotional items through SUBWAY Fresh Fit for Kids(TM) Meals(TM). Each low-fat meal will include one of six reusable bags, with a specially designed “Gravity Falls” window decal or sticker.
As of 2013, Gravity Falls is TV’s #1 animated series across Kids 2-11 (2.0 million/5.1 rating), Kids 6-11 (1.6 million/6.7 rating) and Tweens 9-14 (1.3 million/5.4 rating).
DisneyChannel.com/GravityFalls is featuring two new games that allow fans to play as either Dipper or Mabel. “Attic Stuff Golf” brings a new meaning to the term “reading the green,” as players have five swings to navigate the ball through a mini golf course created from items in the attic. “PinesQuest,” which launches August 16, picks up where DisneyChannel.com’s popular “Rumble’s Revenge” game leaves off. Despite beating Rumble McSquirmish, Dipper and Mabel are still stuck in the game and must successfully complete quests and battle enemies in order to reveal the mysterious figure behind their perplexing circumstances and return home.
In addition to Ritter and Schaal, “Gravity Falls” stars Alex Hirsch as Grunkle Stan and Soos, and Linda Cardellini as Wendy.

Gravity Falls is the best cartoon on TV. It better be back with a lot more episodes and play for years.
I really, really, REALLY hope that all the websites I looked at are right about another season of gravity falls!!!! All I know is that for now, there will be gravity falls short films, which I hope are just until new full episodes come out.
Well, they did say “gravity falls will return” at tv end of season 1
Dude i was reading and alex said that season two will at least habe 20 episodes! I hope that they focus character development on wendy and dipper’s relAtionship
They better show season 2 soon but I want to tell you there’s some sort of connection to Bill and Stan. Bill might be able to control people by there desire and for Stan it money . And on The Time Traverler’s Pig Stan said “Packing for the abocolips doo doo doo were all gonna die”. Apocolips? What who where? Bill also said “A day will come when everthing you care about will change. Well that’s my news bye.
They better renew it soon! I don’t know how else to spend my Friday nights! Mabel and Dipper rock!
