Jackson Publick (a pseudonym for Christopher McCulloch) has released the cast photo for The Venture Brothers Season 3 on his LiveJournal blog. You have to scroll down a little to see it. It has many old characters in it along with many new ones.A few characters, such as J.J. Venture and Jonas Venture, Sr., appear twice. I don't know what that means, but it does come across as foreshadowing. Clones, perhaps? The Venture Brothers has a history with cloning.
Most suspicious is the absence of Dean Venture from picture, one-half of the two Venture Brothers for whom the series is named. Another case of foreshadowing, or just an error on the part of the creator? I wonder.
(Update: On Publick's blog, he mentions in a comment that Dean wasn't included because there were no real character design changes for him. So much for my conspiracy theory.)
On the same page are a few screen shots from the coming season. I just caught up on season 2 a week or so ago, so I'm really looking forward to season 3.

The reason certain characters appear multiple times in that photo (and some don't even appear [i.e. Dean, Monarch, Dr Mrs. Monarch]) is that what is being shown is characters who appear in funky or different outfits than their normal appearance.

I can't wait.
I don't know what to make of that picture. The Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend, and Phantom Limb are missing. I think Sergeant Hatred will be a featured villain this season since the Monarch reconciled with Venture, Phantom Limb lost some body parts, and Baron Underbheit was banished.
Orpheus is wearing a new costume but the Alchemist and Jefferson Twilight are not there. Is the Order of the Triad dissolved?

characters missing here do not mean anything bad/negative or mean we wont see them. It just means that they are not wearing any different/funky outfits this season. I wouldn't read anything else into it.

But I would assume those characters did get new costumes. Phantom Limb has got to look different since he lost his legs and more in the season finale. And if Orpheus got a new costume for the Order of the Triad then Jefferson Twilight and the Alchemist should have them too.

In one of the stills further up the page Dr. M is shown with Brock and The Alchemist so he is still around.
