All hugely successful shows find a way to continue if enough fans want it badly enough, they just find a new plot line to follow after the original plot line concludes. We here all love the show, but just how popular is it compared to other Disney XD shows? Season 3 is just a matter of the show's popularity.

(I kinda want to see the season 2 finale freeze in time the whole of gravity falls minus dipper and mabel.  Then 3 years later dipper finally manages to break the time freezing spell at the start of another summer.  Now that dipper has aged 3 years he is the same age as wendy, and dipeny (or wendipper) actually has a chance.  Or, instead, maybe dipper and mabel will get zapped away to some future or past time for 3 years, but when they make it back 3 years has passed.  Either way, Time baby is the main villain of season 3.  It could happen.  It wouldn't be the first time a popular tv show took its 12 year old main characters, had them age 3 years, and then brought them back as 15 year olds to continue the series....)
