Venture Bros. Season 4

The Venture Bros. creator Jackson Publick has ended his long silence to reveal that he thinks the second half of Season 4 will finally debut on Adult Swim in August -- "August sounds about right" -- and to break the news that the finale probably won't air until December.

So why the delay?

"Because we suck," Publick writes on his blog. But there's more to it than that, naturally, most of which sounds like a good thing for fans.

"In the end, it'll all be worth it," he continues. "We think you're going to really dig these next eight episodes. We seem to have re-embraced the show's sci-fi/comic book/adventure roots, and as much as it was a struggle to write them, they're a whole lot of fun. Lots more development of Hank and Dean, lots of new characters, and lots of old faces returning both triumphantly and trivially."

Here's the other big reason for the delay: When the season finally does end, it'll be with a Very Special Venture Bros. Season Finale Hour-Long Extravaganza. Not just a very special season finale, but an hour-long one!

"That's an extra half an hour of Venture-y goodness for your patience, right?" Publick writes. "What we take away with one hand, we give back with the other."
