The Venture Bros creator Jackson Publick updated his blog with details regarding the second half of the show’s fourth season. If you recall, the fourth season was extended to sixteen episodes and then split in half, with the first eight airing last fall and the second planned for this spring/summer. Well as it always happens, production is taking longer than expected so new episodes are now set for the last part of that time frame, August. But the good news is that we’re getting a bit more than previously announced as the season finale will be an hourlong, though Publick says it’s possible that with the additional work the finale might not air until December.
The new pics reveal a few details about the new episodes, including King Gorilla’s release from jail, more SPHINX action, and an ever-more haggard and pathetic looking Professor Impossible. Does the image below look like a sign of a Fantastic Voyage scenario to anyone else?
The first eight episodes of season 4 will probably be hitting DVD between July and October while the second half would hit around March 2011. At that time the full season will be released on glorious Blu-ray (with a second soundtrack, please?). The big question for me is whether I’ll be able to avoid double-dipping on the first DVD set and then the Blu-ray…
Anyway, more of The Venture Bros coming in August. Can’t wait!
