Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Cancelled at Netflix After One Season

As a long-time fan of the quirky and vibrant world of Scott Pilgrim, I must admit that the release of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was a dream come true. The anime adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved comic series was a delightful surprise, especially with the return of the original cast from the 2010 film.


The unexpected anime adaptation of “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” titled “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off,” brought excitement among fans, but unfortunately, this unique anime series won’t continue for additional episodes as Netflix has decided to cancel it after just one season. This project stood out in numerous ways, including its collaboration with Science Saru and the reunion of the cast and creative team from the “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” movie. It offered a fresh perspective on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s original comic series that fans had not anticipated.

Despite a hint in the post-credits scene after the initial season of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off suggesting further tales to come, the show’s creator Bryan Lee O’Malley has confirmed on social media that there won’t be a Season 2 for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Although it would have been extremely challenging to produce more episodes following the demands of creating the first season, he acknowledges that fans might have hoped for additional content. Unfortunately, the series will not continue on Netflix.

As I reflect on this past year since “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” graced our screens, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. Working alongside an incredible cast and crew from all corners of the globe was like being the maestro of a grand symphony every day. From the moment BenDavid Granbinski ignited the idea, this project felt like an extraordinary miracle in the making.

Emphasizing that the creative team had always planned for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off as a standalone season, O’Malley acknowledged that some fans still harbored hopes for more. He expressed his regret by saying, “We initially intended just one season and went to great lengths to make it happen. Consequently, creating additional seasons would have been extremely challenging. I apologize to all the devoted Matthew and Gideon fans; I understand you’ll be most affected by this news.

Why Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Is So Special

According to O’Malley, the Scott Pilgrim adaptation turned out to be almost miraculous. Every aspect came together perfectly, with Science Saru – now renowned for their work on Dandadan – masterfully animating it. Remarkably, the original cast from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World were eager and accessible to reprise their roles. This was a groundbreaking international cooperation for a comic series, and it told a story that was distinctively its own.

Scott Pilgrim’s New Adventure managed to surprise us once again by offering an innovative take on the original Scott Pilgrim comic series. Similar to its predecessor, the film, Scott Pilgrim’s New Adventure delivered a unique narrative that left fans in anticipation. It was a delightful blend of nostalgia and novelty, and it showcased an audacious move that felt like a self-contained masterpiece. Although fans were eager for more due to its success, they at least had the opportunity to enjoy the first season of this anime adaptation.
