Voice actor James Urbaniak followed up shortly after with a tweet of his own eulogizing the show.

“So, as it must to all, cancelation has come for The Venture Bros. The pilot aired 17 years ago, which means the show was almost old enough to vote. It was one of the great gifts of my life & career. The fans were, quite simply, the best. Thank you, everybody. Go. Team. Venture!” he wrote.

The series followed the Venture family, made up of teen brothers Dean and Hank, their scientist father Rusty, their bodyguard Brock Sampson and several villains.

After McCulloch’s announcement on Twitter, Adult Swim shared a tweet of its own noting that it’s attempting to work with the creators to find another way to keep the show alive, even if it can’t be on TV.

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

Variety reports that one possible avenue to keep the series alive would be moving it over to the Warner Bros. streaming platform, HBO Max. However, unnamed sources told the entertainment news magazine that’s a mere possibility at this point and that anything concrete is still very far away.
