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, 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.

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!
Devastating news! Jackson and Doc wrote a beautiful show that is loved by so many. The Venture Bros. has been my #1 All-Time Favorite TV show for many years and while I knew it would eventually end, I honestly thought/hoped that was still 2 seasons away. I'm a greedy fan who thinks they deserve at least a final season, but I'm truly thankful for the series we have. Go. Team. Venture!

Sadness. Adult Swim apparently only wants 3 or 4 shows, with 2 or 3 of those being non-stop reruns. Lots of platforms out there, so maybe the Venture Bros will return. At least a wrap up 2 hour, 1 hour, special? Assuming this big, baggy, lovable creation could be wrapped up in that amount of time.
I echo the sentiments above. Sad to see it go but the gaps make it seem like it was already gone sometimes. All we can do now is support Doc and Jackson and what's out there of the show. Get the DVDs/Blu-Rays/Downloads if you haven't and, like I said in the other thread, they're re-releasing Art of The Venture Bros. the end of this year.
I'm shocked that it was cancelled but, you know, not surprised. When it was good, it was good. When it was bad, it was still well animated. It would be nice if AS would finance an hour special to at least answer questions about Rusty's and Monarch's relationship - brothers, clones... and if Hank has turned evil or is just trying to find himself.

JMFC!! Not to belittle all the other crises of 2020 but this year truly SUCKS @ss! Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there: Crowd funded web series? If a bunch of geeks can make their own fan made Trek shows why not a continuation of The Venture Bros. by us funding it on the internet? Who needs friggin' AS or any other cable network?

It has been so long, I cannot remember my login, but I just wanted to say a big thank you to Mike.
I have been coming to this site since... 2005? A long time now!
It was mostly black and pink when I first started coming here and it was the wait in between Seasons 1 and 2.
This site is where I read the breaking news we were getting a season 2. It was a good day. And you have been there every step of the way for the great days since.
Here's to the best fan site ever.
Go Team Venture!

From head of HBO Max:
"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."

I'm not getting my hopes up, but there may still be a glimmer of hope:
