16 | For one whole summer vacation, twins [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Dipper]] (Creator/JasonRitter) and [[GenkiGirl Mabel Pines]] (Creator/KristenSchaal) are visiting their great-uncle Stan (Hirsch) in the valley town of [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest Gravity Falls, Oregon]], where he owns the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap operating as "the world's most bizarre museum". Dipper and Mabel's situation worsens (or rather, improves) when Dipper finds a mysterious book, the cover bearing an insignia of a six-fingered hand marked with the number "3". Upon opening it, he discovers that it is a GreatBigBookOfEverything, explaining the many strange beings, past events, and even federal cover-ups that exist within this [[TownWithADarkSecret town of secrecy.]] |

18 | Thus begins Dipper and Mabel's adventures as they interact with the supernatural world that surrounds them, all while following a MythArc where Dipper tries to find the journal's mysterious author. |

20 | After the Season 1 finale, the series went on a year-long hiatus. Several mini-series of short films were released over the break to keep fans content. Season 2 premiered on August 1, 2014, a year after Season 1 ended. The series was rebranded as a Creator/DisneyXD original series, with episodes premiering on that network first before airing later on Disney Channel. In November 2015, Alex Hirsch announced that Season 2 [[https://shmalexsmirsch.tumblr.com/post/133619326491/goodbye-gravity-falls would be the final season]], with the GrandFinale airing February 15, 2016, as a one-hour special. Hirsch has since stated he remains open to the idea of continuing the series with additional episodes or specials, and he delivered with the {{defictionaliz|ation}}ed book ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'' in 2016, the comic book anthology ''ComicBook/GravityFallsLostLegends'' in 2018 and ''Literature/TheBookOfBill'' in 2024. |
21 | |
22 | A DVD/Blu-ray of the complete series was released on July 24, 2018, from Creator/ShoutFactory, making it the first Disney animated series to receive such a release. In March 2023, the box set was discontinued. |
