The Truth Unveiled: Max After Show Creator's Shocking Response to Venture Bros Removal Rumors Shakes Social Media

Summary

Warner Bros. Discovery has faced backlash for its decision to remove both animated and live-action shows and movies from Max.

The potential removal of The Venture Bros. would have been unfortunate, given its highly-publicized cancellation and recent release of a follow-up film. However, the series is currently remaining on the air.

Rumors about The Venture Bros. being taken off Max have been proven false after the show's creator is caught off guard on social media. The Venture Bros. holds the distinction of being one of Adult Swim's longest-running shows, with its first season airing in 2004. The series, an action-comedy that chronicles the lives of the Venture family, has recently made a comeback with a follow-up movie titled The Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart.

Show creator Chris McCulloch, also known as "Jackson Publick," responded to rumors circulating about The Venture Bros. being taken off Max, the current streaming platform for the show. In a tweet, Publick expressed surprise and confusion by simply stating, "Um... WHAT?" However, Screen Rant has reached out to Warner Bros Discovery and confirmed that there are no plans to remove Venture Bros. from Max in August. Warner Bros Discovery also mentioned that they cannot provide any information regarding a planned end date.

Warner Bros. Past Removal Of Animated Shows

Warner Bros. Discovery's leadership has brought attention and sparked debate regarding their management of animation. Cartoon Network Studios, known for creating popular shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and The Powerpuff Girls, joined forces with Warner Bros. Animation. This decision was made after a number of animated titles were taken off of what was previously known as HBO Max.

The list of removed titles included Infinity Train, Close Enough, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, and Victor and Valentino. These shows are now either available for purchase or have reappeared on other platforms, but their removal indicated a shift away from prioritizing animation. Additionally, this move followed the removal of several live-action series, like Westworld and The Nevers, suggesting that even HBO originals were not safe from the changes.

It would have been particularly unfortunate if The Venture Bros. had been taken off the air. The show had already experienced a significant cancellation, and the recent movie aimed to address remaining story questions. Fortunately, it appears that the series will remain on air for the foreseeable future.
