Olan Rogers announced last week that Final Space has officially been canceled after three seasons by Adult Swim or TBS or whomever made the decision.That said, the ambitious producer is trying his damndest to revive the franchise in other formats including a feature-length film, comics, or a video game. Apparently., the long awaited VR adaptation is still very much on the way, so we may have new Final Space content to look forward to sooner, rather than later.

Final Space was an American adult animated space opera comedy-drama television series created by Olan Rogers and developed by Rogers and David Sacks. The series involves an astronaut named Gary Goodspeed and his immensely powerful alien friend Mooncake, and focuses on their intergalactic adventures as they try to save the universe from certain doom.
