James Urbaniak, who provided the voice of Dr. Venture and may other characters for the show, also confirmed the cancellation.
“So, as it must to all, cancellation has come for The Venture Bros.,” tweeted Urbaniak. “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!”
