Wizard Entertainment: At a one-hour "Venture Bros. Spotlight" panel on Saturday featuring the creators and voice actors of Adult Swim's hit cartoon "The Venture Bros.," show creator Jackson Publick confirmed for the packed event hall that "The Venture Bros." would indeed be picked up for a third season and that a fourth season is likely included with that deal but would be confirmed at a later date.
The panel—featuring show creator and writer Jackson Publick (Hank Venture), writer Doc Hammer (Doctor Girlfriend), James Urbaniak (Doctor Venture), Steven Rattazzi (Doctor Orpheus) and Mike Sinterniklaas (Dean Venture)—began with the announcement of the third season pickup and moved quickly to a short movie about the show and a laughter-filled question-and-answer session.
When asked for an air-date for Season 3, Publick said, "[Season 3] may not air until Spring of next year."
The remainder of the Q&A session was filled with fan questions about characters, the voice actors themselves, and even some prodding for Season 3 spoilers. Nearly every answer was met with uproarious laughter from the crowd. One fan asked if the panel could reveal what Dr. Girlfriend was hinting at in the last episode of Season 2. (It's been previously hinted that the gravelly-man-voiced Dr. Girlfriend was once, in fact, a man.) Doc Hammer responded, with jovial sarcasm, "The whole idea of having a cliffhanger is so that you show up for the next season." Another spoiler question later received an even more snarky answer from Hammer: "You are hanging on a proverbial hook! Tune in!"
When asked later about the whereabouts the show's more sinister villain, the Phantom Limb, Doc replied, "You got that whole third season comin' up… Stuff happens, it's gonna be resolved; we're not ‘Lost!' We'll tell ya!"
In all, the panel was met with great enthusiasm and enjoyment by the fans present. At the end of the panel, the creators and voice actors stuck around in the event hall for another 20 minutes to shake hands and take photos with fans and were later sighted roaming the convention show floor checking out booths and retailers.
Tune in to the first two seasons of "The Venture Bros." on the Adult Swim block on Cartoon Network. |
