Adult Swim had already greenlit season 8 back in 2018, what made them go back on this I wonder? From the sound of it the scripts were not done despite the 2 years since the end of production on S10, so maybe that was a factor? I would have expected the 8th season to have been in illustration/animation roughs at least a year ago.
Had to listen to this on a loop when I heard the news :

Can anyone really blame Cartoon Network for this? We have been waiting for 2 years and they aren't even done with the scripts for the new episodes yet. Also, go look at his IMDB. The dude has been doing fuck all in the last few years that would stop him from making this show. This looks like a creative that is too fucking creative for his own good and just cannot sit down and deliver on his most popular brand. Sad, but not unexpected.

they have said in the past, it wasn't their model to push out series quickly and were ok with them taking years. from what i can tell, the last season was on par ratings wise with the season 6, but less than half of season's 5. warner bros has been trimming the fat here lately so maybe they were just asking too much.

With such a long time between seasons, it loses almost all of it's forward momentum/hype and you are less likely to attract new viewers, resulting in having to rely on an ever diminishing core of fans.
I loved the first six seasons, but forgot the show even existed until I was reminded of it by this thread. Hell, I have the first six seasons on DVD.

Adult Swim Has Three Movies In The Works For ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’, ‘The Venture Bros.’ & ‘Metalocalypse’
Three popular Adult Swim series are getting a feature take: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse and The Venture Bros. Rather than send the movies straight to Adult Swim’s sister HBO Max immediately, the pics will get a release worldwide on Blu-ray/DVD and PVOD and electronic-sell-through (EST)...

Metalocalypse is the most surprising after what Brendon Small did to them.

Adult Swim, the rumor is that he took the entire budget he was given for season 5 and spent it making The Doomstar Requiem instead. They were pissed since they got a 1 hour 'rock opera' instead of the season of episodes they agreed to fund. It was why the show was never mentioned and quietly shelved for all these years. Either there is new leadership in all of those positions or AS is hurting for money and going back to the well on their most popular franchises.

Ah, ok then. If they can make money off this more power to them.

I feel the same way. I was a huge fan of both so to see VB and Metalocalypse back is great.

That makes sense. Brendon Small is pretty vague about why they cancelled the show. Although they did have Dethklok headline Adult Swim Fest in 2019, so maybe they started to bury the hatchet then.

Well, shit, this is actually happening. After 19 years Venture Bros will have its last hurrah. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
