“Venture Bros” Canceled After Seven Seasons By Adult Swim

 

 

 

Rumors were swirling over the weekend which then led to a viral hashtag for #VentureBros that trended nationwide, but now it has been confirmed by show co-creator Jackson Publick, Ventures Bros. has been canceled after seven seasons for Adult Swim. Jackson had this to say about the news:

Unfortunately, it’s true: #VentureBros has been canceled. We got the highly disappointing news a few months ago, while we were writing what would have been season 8. We thank you, our amazing fans, for 17 years of your kind (and patient) attention. And, as always, We Love You.

The network has released a statement:

We also want more Venture Bros. and have been working with Jackson and Doc to find another way to continue the Venture Bros. story.

Variety is reporting that there could be some sort of continuation on HBO MAX, but that will likely be a long way’s off. 

Adult Swim also cut ties with Mike Tyson Mysteries earlier this year, and with four months to go in the 2020 year it will be interesting to see if the network makes any more calls on the future of original programming for the network. That said, Adult Swim loses a Comic-Con warrior, a franchise that always featured bankable panels and numerous cosplayers dotted all over convention halls. After seven seasons across 17 years, Venture Bros. fans were way more patient waiting for their show than the Rick and Morty fans who complain after six months for new episodes, one of the more expensive productions on the network, Venture Bros. will be missed.

 

Synopsis:

Thrilling action-packed adventure meets acute family dysfunction in the award-winning animated series The Venture Bros.

In this spoof of 1960s cartoons such as “Jonny Quest” and boys’ adventure novels like the “Tom Swift” and “Hardy Boys” series, the Venture brothers–Hank and Dean–travel around the world with their renowned scientist father, Doctor Venture. Fraternal twins Hank and Dean are total idiots who think, act and talk like they’re in the ’60s, even though they’re 21st-century teenagers. Doc Venture, who really can’t stand his dimwitted sons, pops “diet pills” like candy. Doc reeks of failure and unrealized potential, but he hopes his new invention will bring him the glory and respect he has long sought. Meanwhile the family bodyguard, Brock Sampson, is a former secret agent who responds to any and all crises with relentless, remorseless brutality.

When trouble erupts, whom are you going to call? Anyone but The Venture Bros.
