Disney announced in a press release that there would be new episodes for the 2013-2014 slate, including "Gravity Falls," returning for a second season. It was announced July 29, 2013 by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President of the Disney Channel Original Series.

Unproduced episode
In a writer's panel podcast that Alex Hirsch guest starred on with J.G. Quintel (creator of Regular Show), he revealed a story idea that would have gone somewhere in the middle of the first season. The episode would have been a Labyrinth parody starring Dipper as the brother who was stolen, and Mabel as the reluctant sister who would rather hang out with the David Bowie-like "Groblin" King. It would have begun with Mabel watching a Labyrinth-like movie for the nth time, and Dipper complaining about it so much, she wishes him away. The B-story follows Dipper who reveals the reason why he hates the movie is because he's terrified of puppets and how he overcomes this fear. The episode went unproduced because Disney Channel executives didn't think anyone would understand the reference.
