The Venture Bros. Has Been Canceled

I swear, it's going to be New Years Eve, we'll all be watching an empty Time Square and the ball will drop to reveal it's 2020 part 2.
I can only assume the long production cycle is the main reason. They were still writing season eight in early/mid 2020. There's no way season eight would have been out before late 2022 or early 2023.
I also don't expect them to be able to self-fund or take it to another network as Williams Street (AS production company) refused to let Brandon Small self-fund a final set of episodes for Metalocalypse to tie up the final threads of the show that "The Doomstar Requiem" began to explore. They also mocked fan campaigns too by telling the fans of Metalocalypse to send in support via a fax machine. Well, tWilliams Street posted a picture later on where the fax machine had been set up on the edge of a desk to spit out the faxes into a trashcan and the caption basically said "Here is what we think of your support for Metalocalypse"
Even ignoring the juggernaut that is Rick & Morty, [adult swim]'s original programming lineup has actually been pretty solid recently. Ballmastrz, Tigtone, Three Busy Debras, Shivering Truth, etc. Plus they effectively have co-ownership of American Dad and Final Space with TBS, so I'd say things are better now than they were a few years ago, even if this cancellation obviously hurts a lot.
No ending?! Come on Cartoon Network don't do this to us! This was my reaction lol ugh this sucks:

No conclusion is the biggest punch in the gut. I really wanted to see where they were going with
I'm going to really miss this series even though I got into it super late, and I hope something can come of it even if Adult Swim treats their inactive IPs like garbage.
I've been considering watching this show lately and hearing about that in the wake of all this is extremely disappointing. That's so awful, and really annoying they'd acknowledge the demand but then act petty toward fans about it.
the Monarch and Rusty being brothers, though honestly the final moments of the series being Hank and Dean splitting up with Hank seeking to grow up more was a pretty somber and great ending and a very powerful way to end the series.
