After days of speculation, Chris McCulloch — perhaps better known as Jackson Publick — announced to his legions of fans on Twitter The Venture Bros had, in fact, been canceled. News first surfaced over the weekend after one of the writers attached to the show seemingly suggested it had been sent to the chopping block. Fast forward to Monday evening, and Publick confirmed the news in a tweet to fans.

"Unfortunately, it's true: #VenturesBros has been canceled," Publick tweeted. "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."

An Establishment

the venture brothers is as much of an establishment for adult swims programming as aqua teen hunger force or space ghost coast to coast. its upsetting to see a pioneer of serialized adult animation be left without a conclusion to the story it spent nearly two decades cultivating.

Cardinal Sin

It's a cardinal sin that a show as brilliant & expansive as THE VENTURE BROTHERS is now cancelled. It remains unsurpassed as one of the most irreverent, referential & inadvertently heartwarming series to grace animation.

Should've Gone on Forever

Incredibly bummed about Venture Brothers, was one of my favorite shows and one of the only ones I ever owned dvds of. I genuinely thought it would go on forever, so hearing it got cut so suddenly bites.
