Venture Brothers Seasons 5 and 6 Confirmed!

From the Jackson Publick LiveJournal:

We've recently signed a new contract with adultswim to produce two more seasons of The Venture Bros.

Doc and I officially started writing last week. Though, in truth, we technically started writing season 5 last year when we accidentally brainstormed a handful of (we think) pretty hot new stories while we were writing the season 4 finale. Our goal is to have enough scripts to comfortably begin pre-production by June.

But wait...that's not all!

Our contract also includes a long-form (60-90 min.) Venture Bros. special. Don't ask me when we'll make it, what it's going to be about, or whether it'll be on TV or direct-to-DVD, because we don't have a clue yet. Nevertheless: good news!

Tell them what else they get, Jackson...

We've been secretly working on an 11 minute Venture Bros. special for the past couple of months. A sort of light-hearted, one-off little aperitif we're producing and animating entirely in-house at Titmouse Studios in NY and LA. It will premiere some time this summer.

I think that's enough for you to chew on for a while. More news later as it develops. Now go buy some DVDs or something...

Great news if you're a Venture fan! If I must say, The Venture Bros. has remained one of the very best shows on television and I'm quite glad to see that more is coming. Hilarious, cleverly written, and rarely for an Adult Swim program: well animated! This news comes right on top of the Season 4 Bluray release today, so it's a total sensory overload. Perhaps the old idiom that too much of a good thing is somehow BAD...is total bullshit. Bring on the waves of pleasure, I say. Here's to feeling good...all the time!

If you haven't picked up your Season 4 BluRay, Amazon has a lovely price for it. Check 'er out:
