Dropout has released a cryptic teaser for the next Dimension 20 season, titled 'Welcome to Purpee.' The Gladlands campaign wrapped up in February, and the new video offers only hints about where the show will go next. The clip pairs calming stock shots of nature and families with unsettling narration.

It mentions a forest where "all them kids went missing last spring" and repeatedly warns against going out after sundown. The teaser evokes Twin Peaks and Welcome to Night Vale more than Gladlands' focus on kindness, and even notes that the mayor of Purpee is a dog—"But, well, so are most politicians." No cast members or a release date were announced; the trailer only says the season will be coming soon to Dropout.

Fans on Reddit pointed out that Dropout CEO Sam Reich may have already revealed during a recent Superfan Q&A that the next Intrepid Heroes campaign will be set in Purpee. The Intrepid Heroes are Emily Axford, Ally Beardsley, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson and Lou Wilson, with Brennan Lee Mulligan serving as the GM.
