Summary
Although it got a proper ending,Gravity Fallsended too soon with its second season, but I will never forgive Disney if season 3 doesn’t happen now after its most recent tease. Disney Channel continues to bring a variety of fun animated TV shows, though not all of them have been popular with critics and viewers. One of the most beloved and critically acclaimed Disney animated TV shows in recent years isGravity Falls, created by Alex Hirsch and which premiered in June 2012.Gravity Fallsran for two seasons, coming to an end in 2016.
Gravity Fallsfollowed 12-year-old twins Dipper (voiced by Jason Ritter) and Mabel (Kristen Schaal), who spent the summer in the fictional town of Gravity Falls with their great uncle “Grunkle” Stan (Hirsch). Stan ran a tourist trap called “Mystery Shack”, which hid dark secrets and a mysterious journal through which Dipper and Mabel discovered shocking secrets about the town, the strange events and creatures in it, and their own family. Despite getting proper closure, I wouldn’t mind a third season ofGravity Falls, and after a recent tease, I would be very disappointed if it didn’t happen.

Gravity Falls' Countdown Website Explained
The Mysterious Gravity Falls Website Is Still Up
On the back of The Book of Bill, readers found a password protected website namedThisIsNotAWebsite.
The world ofGravity Fallshas continued in video games and various books. The latest book in theGravity Fallsfranchise isThe Book of Bill, written by Hirsch as Bill Cipher.The Book of Billis the first in theGravity Fallsbook series to be targeted at a mature audience, and it was published on June 02, 2025. On the back of the book, readers found a website namedThisIsNotAWebsite(very on-brand with the series), which is password protected, but had various clues so visitors could decode it and see what was behind the homepage.
Accompanying this is a countdown, which reached zero on July 30, but it’s still going.
The password is the name of the optometrist fromThe Great Gatsby, T.J. Eckleberg, but written “Eckleburg”and with no spaces. However, once inside, the website shows Soos holding some wires and a message about the Mystery Shack experiencing “some delays” and asking the visitor to “bare with us as we figure out which wire goes where”. Accompanying this is a countdown, which reached zero on July 30, but it’s still going.The website, then, hasn’t revealed anything since the countdown ended, which led to disappointment among fans but also speculation on what it could be about.
Of course, the biggest theory is that Disney is about to make our dreams come true and announce the third season ofGravity Falls, but I think that, if Disney was preparing such a big announcement, the website wouldn’t have been included in a book and it wouldn’t have let us hanging after the countdown ended.I believe the countdown and the website will announce another bookor some other form of extended media, or even an interactive website.

On the other hand,Hirsch has saidGravity Fallswas made to last two seasons, and though he hoped to expand with a movie and a video game, these never happened – however, anything can happen and Hirsch could have changed his mind.
The timing of the website and the mystery around it could end up paying off during D23 with an announcement.
Now, the 2024 D23 convention will take place from August 9 to 11, and this event has been notorious for being used to announce big projects by Disney. The timing of the website and the mystery around it could end up paying off during D23 with an announcement about the third season ofGravity Falls. Whether announced at D23 or not, Disney has been teasing a return ofGravity Fallstoo many times now, and it would be very disappointing and frustrating if nothing substantial came out of all this.
