Metalocalypse creator: Adult Swim said 'no'

It looks as if fans of metal-themed animated television series Metalocalypse will not be seeing anymore of the show on the Adult Swim network, where it has aired since 2006. Last spring series creator Brendon Small said that a fifth and final season was in pre-production and that he was simply awaiting a budget from the network. Somewhere along the line, however, Adult Swim apparently changed their mind. Small explained:

"For those complaining about lack season 5. Was a network decision- I wanted to do it as a final big mini series. They said no. True story."

On a positive note, Small seems confident that fans haven't heard the last from Dethklok (see the Tweet below).
