Oh, I'm crushed. Apparently the cancellation has been confirmed: Venture Bros. Creator Confirms Show Has Been Cancelled They say they were "halfway through writing Season 8," so maybe the scripts can come out in some form, even as a comic book or something. I really loved the show and it was pretty much the only thing we watched on Cartoon Network.
So big, it made the Yahoo! News headlines!! ‘The Venture Bros.’ Is Now Officially Canceled By Adult Swim, Says Creator Christopher McCulloch; Net Hints At Possible Continuation
Oh, I'm really saddened to read this. I hope that something can be worked out to continue the story! There was a lot of fallout from the last season finale that I was looking forward to exploring. This is one of our favorite shows. My husband and I love The Venture Bros.
The thought so far is that the cancellation didn't come from Adult Swim but somewhere further up the Turner food chain.
Sounds like the bean counters decided that seven seasons over the course of seventeen years isn't a winning proposition. Ticks me off and hope that they find a way to at least finish season eight if not a more lasting solution as I do love the show and will miss it if it just goes dark.
Sounds like HBOMax may continue the series. Fingers crossed. REPORT: HBO Max Interested in Continuing The Venture Bros.
I don't get it. Cartoon Network and HBO Max are owned by the same company, AT&T. Why would one division dump it just to have another division take it up? I would not put much faith in HBO Max as AT&T has essentially drove DirectTV into the ground.
All these 'streaming' networks are basically asking; "How much are YOU willing to pay EXTRA for this 'niche' thing that you love?"
And now there's this... The Venture Bros. Creators, Adult Swim Have Discussed 'One Last Special' Never underestimate the stupidity of Hollywood media executioves.
A brand new interview with Doc. Post-Punk Podcast Episode 4 With Doc Hammer Pic & text from the page... Post-Punk Podcast Episode 4 With Doc Hammer Post-Punk Podcast Apr 13 103 min On the fourth episode of the Post-Punk Podcast, our Editor-in-Chief Alex Baker catches up with his old friend Doc Hammer following the release of his band Weep's recent album Too Much Nothing. You may know Doc Hammer as Dr. Girlfriend on the Venture Bros, an animated program that was on cartoon network’s Adult Swim, that he co-created along with Jackson Publick. But before Doc was known as Eric Hammer, a baroque, flamboyant, Dracula-looking, and often shirtless, Gothic Rock guitarist from the bands Requiem in White, and Mors Syphilitica. During the interview, Doc discusses exactly what Goth is, as well as talking about Bauhaus, The Damned, Sisters of Mercy, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. As well as his acquisition of guitar that if you were to open a museum of post-punk, it would be the highlight of the collection.
Looks like we're getting a movie (and it will get a blu-ray release before streaming anywhere! Also, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Metalocalypse movies! Hell yessss! ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’, ‘Venture Bros.’ & ‘Metalocalypse’ Movies In the Works – Deadline From the article . . . "In the The Venture Bros. movie, Doc’s latest invention will either bankrupt the Ventures or launch them to new heights, as Hank searches for himself, Dean searches for Hank, The Monarch searches for answers, and a mysterious woman from their pasts threatens to bring their entire world crashing down on them. The Venture Bros. is created, written and executive produced by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. The Venture Bros. premiered originally as a pilot in 2003, with the first season airing in August 2004. The series aired 7 seasons and 4 specials over its near 15 year-run and was one of Adult Swim’s longest running series alongside Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
A small bit of this information showed up in my Facebook feed from Adult Swim. It lacked a link to Deadline so I assumed it was a promotion for the series on HBO Max so I moved on. While I prefer a 7-episode season, I'll take a direct to video movie. My guess for the returning mystery woman is Molotav Cocktease.
