Infinity Train is an American animated anthology television series created by Owen Dennis, previously a writer and storyboard artist on Regular Show, for Cartoon Network. The pilot was published on November 1, 2016, with Cartoon Network greenlighting the full series due to positive reception; the series premiered on August 5, 2019. Two seasons have been released, plus a series of shorter episodes in late 2019. In July 2020, it was announced that a third season was in production and would air exclusively on HBO Max.
The series is set on a gigantic, mysterious and seemingly endless train traveling through a barren landscape, whose cars contain a variety of bizarre, fantastical and impossible environments; each season (referred to as a “Book”) follows a different set of characters, as they try to find a way to leave the train. The first season, retroactively titled The Perennial Child, follows a young girl named Tulip trying to escape with the help of a robot named One-One and the talking dog Atticus, while the second, Cracked Reflection, focuses on “MT”, Tulip’s reflection from the mirror world, who befriends a boy named Jesse and a deer they name Alan Dracula. The third season will reportedly follow Grace and Simon, leaders of a gang of rogue passengers introduced in season two, as well as a new character named Hazel, who is traveling with a gorilla named Tuba.
Upon its debut, Infinity Train received critical acclaim for its plot, characters, visual animation style and voice acting. It was initially promoted as a miniseries, but following the first season’s finale it was announced that Infinity Train would continue as an anthology series instead.
On July 6, 2020, it was announced that the third season will be released exclusively on HBO Max. The third season will air on HBO Max on August 13, 2020.
