Things are about to get a little strange on Disney XD with the return of the fan-favourite animated series Gravity Falls. Debuting Sunday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. ET the quirky comedy follows twins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, who are sent to the weird and wondrous town of Gravity Falls to spend the summer with their eccentric Great Uncle Stan.

Season two picks up where the first season left off with Dipper and Mabel digging even deeper into the secret history of Journal #3’s unknown author. As the twins continue to explore the mysteries of Gravity Falls, Stan works on a secret project in the basement of the Mystery Shack that could change everything. In premiere episode, titled “Scary-oke,” the Pines family throws a “Mystery Shack is Back” party in an effort to put the Lil’ Gideon incident behind them, but some unwelcome guests crash the celebration. Throughout the season, unique puzzle pieces with secret decodable messages will be revealed at the end of each episode’s credits.
