Venture Bros. To HBO Max In The Works?
Andy Forssell, EVP and GM at WarnerMedia, who is also in charge of HBO Max, has tweeted out the following:
The Venture Bros fans are passionate, but incredibly civil. I've received tons of emails, all of which are short very well written notes, oozing with politeness. Class fans. Nothing imminent, but know that we're working on it.#SaveTheVentureBros

Obviously nothing final or confirming, but encouraging none the less! Keep an eye on this space, or whatever your favorite Venture Bros. news reporting website might be, for more as it develops!
Cancellation Confirmed By Jackson, Adult Swim Responds
Over on the Twitter, Jackson has confirmed the news that Venture Bros. was cancelled, which includes the in-progress season eight:
Unfortunately, itβs 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.

However, Adult Swim has responded to the outcry with some small glimmer of hope:
We also want more Venture Bros. and have been working with Jackson and Doc to find another way to continue the Venture Bros. story.

What this may turn into remains to be seen of course, but it's possible the the show at least gets a proper sendoff in some format or another. Stay tuned!
Venture Bros. Possibly Cancelled
Friend of the show Ken Plume made a couple of Tweets last night:

There's been no official confirmation anywhere as best I can tell, though a concerned reader did write me to let me know:
Anecdotally: I have a friend who works for Turner, and he says Adult Swim is facing a massive downsizing in staff, scope, and programming. This is all speculation of course, but I do have a bad feeling.
I have no way to verify any of this of course, and no idea what this means for season eight or beyond of the show.
Venture Bros. Season 7 on DVD and Blu-Ray
Venture In The New Year
The whole thing kicks off with "Dia de los Dangerous!" which airs at 5am on January 6th (the night of January 5th, if you're inclined). You can also catch replays of the end of season seven at the much more reasonable time of 12:30am on Sunday nights, though I'm not sure if they'll air the entire series in that far more coveted time slot just yet.
