The Venture Bros. Finale Hits Adult Swim This Friday at Midnight
Adult Swim is screening Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer's The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart this Friday at midnight.
For old-school fans looking to end things the way they began, this Friday, September 1st (beginning at midnight) is a very important date. Because that's when Adult Swim will screen Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer's The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. In the final chapter, Hank goes off the grid – a move that will find Team Venture cutting through conspiracies, mysteries, and plenty of villainous familiar faces to find him – before the world as they know it is changed forever. To help get you in the mood, we have a look at the official trailer and overview, followed by a handful of previews that check in with a number of familiar faces. And then, before we wrap things up, we check in to see what Publick & Hammer had to share about the finale and the show's future.
The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart brings back the voice talents of James Urbaniak (The Fabelmans) as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch (Superjail!) as Hank Venture, and Doc Hammer (The Venture Bros.) as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch.
In The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while The Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture's blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, The Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures' world to order… or end it once and for all.

"A lot of what Hank was going through was part of my plan [for season 8]. We weren't gonna see Hank until, like, the third episode of the season, he was gonna be missing. We would've had him on the road for a season, and he would have really done the 'High Fidelity' thing of looking up what he imagined to be his old girlfriends; he was gonna bother the mail lady again, and he was gonna bother Mary Lou Retton because he had a poster of her and got his first erection watching 'Mary Lou's Flip Flop Shop,'" Publick shared during an interview with Polygon. "Everybody's starting points in the film matched with what we were going to do with the season, and then everything went in a whole new direction." As for this truly being the end, it doesn't sound like that's the case – at least from Hammer & Publick's perspective. But if it is? That's okay, too. "It is so sad, we love the show. We left for reasons that were out of our control. Would we do it again? Sure. If we never do it again, everything is fine," Hammer shared. "We love the show more than our fans do, which seems ridiculous, but we do."
The film also stars Nina Arianda (Being the Ricardos) as Mantilla, Clancy Brown (John Wick 4) as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman (Up Here) as Snoopy, Hal Lublin (Welcome to Night Vale) as Clayton, Jane Lynch (Glee) as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell (Top Gun: Maverick) as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah (Spinning Gold) as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi (New Amsterdam) as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons (Whiplash) as Ben, and Dana Snyder (Aqua Teen Hunger Force) as The Alchemist. Hammer & Publick wrote and executive produced the film, with Publik directing.
