Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Creator Hints at Potential Spin-Offs Following Cancellation

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Creator Hints at Potential Spin-Offs Following Cancellation

As a die-hard Scott Pilgrim fan, I was absolutely heartbroken when Netflix announced that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off would not be returning for a second season. I mean, who doesn’t want more of Ramona Flowers and her seven evil exes? But alas, it seems like we’re stuck with just one season of animated goodness from the minds at Science SARU.


2023 saw the release of “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off,” an animated series on Netflix and Science SARU, which quickly became a hit among fans due to its vibrant Canadian characters based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comics. Despite the first season wrapping up fairly independently, some viewers were left wondering if this was the concluding chapter for the animated adaptation of these colorful characters. In a recent update from Scott Pilgrim’s creator, it was confirmed that the Science SARU anime would not be coming back for a second season. However, Bryan Lee O’Malley hinted at the possibility that Scott’s story might still have more chapters to tell.

If you haven’t seen “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” the story had unexpected twists for those already acquainted with Bryan Lee O’Malley’s original comic books. The live-action film followed the graphic novel closely, but Science SARU’s series significantly deviated when portraying Scott’s life. Contrary to expectations, “Takes Off” wasn’t a straightforward remake of the first comic book series. Instead, it unveiled its unique identity by the end of the premiere episode. In the initial fight with the villainous Matthew Patel, Scott is defeated, and Netflix cleverly conceals this development from viewers. The focus shifts to Ramona Flowers as she tries to understand what has happened to Scott in a fresh eight-episode journey within O’Malley’s universe.

A Scott Pilgrim Spin-Off?

As a dedicated fan, I’ve had the privilege of following BenDavid Grabinski’s journey in helping Scott Pilgrim’s creator bring Takes Off to life. Lately, he’s been opening up about the series’ “cancellation.” Despite my hope for a second season, BenDavid admitted that it might not have been in the cards. However, he left us with a tantalizing hint: he may not be done exploring this fascinating universe just yet. While no official news has been released about Scott Pilgrim’s return, it seems like BenDavid could be holding onto some exciting secrets!

To set the record straight, I never planned to create a second season for “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off,” nor did I have any ideas for one. However, I’m not finished with the world of Scott Pilgrim yet, and I believe that misconceptions about it being “cancelled” may have arisen due to this.

Scott Pilgrim’s Cancellation

Should you not have caught the initial news, Bryan Lee O’Malley, the creator, shared his thoughts when he verified that the anime adaptation wouldn’t be back for another season: “A year has passed since Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was released. It was a privilege to collaborate with everyone worldwide on this project. Each day felt like conducting a symphony orchestra. From the moment Brad Graubart ignited the idea, the venture seemed like an extraordinary miracle. Unfortunately, we have been informed that it won’t be coming back. As you might remember, we always planned for only one season, and we relied on many favors to bring it to life, so creating more would have been quite challenging. Yet, I understand some of you may have been waiting with hope.

If you’re pining for the vibrant animation of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” let me tell you about a series that’s worth checking out! Although Science SARU has moved on from the tales of our Canadian 20-something hero, they’ve found their stride with one of the season’s most anticipated shows – Dandadan.
