What happens

Gravity Falls is an American animated mystery comedy television series created by Alex Hirsch for Disney Channel and Disney XD. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines (Jason Ritter) and his twin sister Mabel (Kristen Schaal), who are sent to spend the summer with their great-uncle (or "Grunkle") Stan (Hirsch) in Gravity Falls, Oregon, a mysterious town rife with paranormal incidents and supernatural creatures. The kids help Stan run the "Mystery Shack", the tourist trap that he owns, while also investigating the local mysteries. The series premiered on June 15, 2012, and ran for two seasons until February 15, 2016. On November 20, 2015, Hirsch announced that the series would conclude with its second season, stating that this was "100% [his] choice" and that "the show isn't being cancelled – it's being finished" and was reaching its intended conclusion. He later stated that he remains open to producing additional episodes or specials. Various literary works partially set after the events of the series have since been released, including the 2016 replica of Journal 3, the 2018 graphic novel Gravity Falls: Lost Legends, and the 2024 teen-oriented novel The Book of Bill. Gravity Falls has received critical acclaim for its writing, characters, voice acting, animation, and humor. Additionally, the series won two Emmy Awards, three Annie Awards, and a BAFTA Children's Award, among various other wins and nominations. Gravity Falls garnered high viewership amongst children, teenagers, and young adults during its run and was Disney XD's highest-rated show in 2015 and early 2016, while also setting several ratings records for the network. The series has attracted a broad and passionate fandom, is considered to be an influence for many animated shows that followed it, and spawned a variety of official merchandise.
