Levine revealed the cancellation news on his Tumblr, saying new episodes will still air through 2017:
I’m making this announcement to let you know that the second season of Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero will be the final season of the series.
We are finishing up the story we began telling in 2014. New episodes will air through 2017, leading up to our series finale. I’m really excited for you all to see our big, bombastic, super funny, visually purty, exponentially musical, big-time exciting and emotionally everything season 2.”
He also thanked the fans for their devotion to the show:
The most exciting part of making this show has been to see it resonate with an audience. To know you dig what we put into the universe is honestly the biggest gift. We made this stuff for you. And you’re inspired and make your own stuff because of what we did. And that truly inspires me. Thank you all.”

Yes I’m very sad that the second season is over I wish there was a third season because from all the shows I have seen, Penn zero is the one of the best show I ever seen. they always will be in my heart.

I am very sad that Penn Zero: Part Time Hero is ending. It was one of my most favorite shows. The only good shows is Penn Zero, Pokemon Sun and Moon, and Beyblade Burst. Penn Zero was a very good and funny show. It was also very emotional. Penn Zero will always be in my heart.

I don’t think Disney knows when it has a good show … they keep cancelling decent shows and putting on just plain stupid nonsense tv … I’m sad to see penn zero go was creative and different not like some of the new junk they have added.. my kids are watching Nick now because of your programming choices
I am heart broken that such a beautiful, creative, and hilarious series such as Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero is being cancelled. I love this cartoon so much, One of the best cartoons I’ve ever seen. So much dedication went towards this amazing series. The voice actors are so amazing the characters have such unique and hilarious personalities. The art details are mesmerizing. I will miss this series so much
I’m so sad that this show is ending this show and star vs the forces of evil are the only good shows. On Disney XD everything else is pickle and peanut and I me worm garbage.
I’m not surprised its ending soon. I had a hunch the show would end soon.
Disney bosses are jerks
I want to see more please I want to see Penn Zero find his Parents and that’s important.
Very sad to hear this cartoon is ending my son absolutely loves this show
I was truly shell shocked to hear that such a creative cartoon with so many talented actors/voice actors is being canceled. I thought that with the talent of this cartoon would have lasted so much longer. But instead of talent & such original writing, that we’re stuck with other bad & just plain over done material from other shows they have taking from older shows in the past. At least Penn Zero had a lot more originality & was exciting. I will forever think that Disney has made a mistake with this one & really hope that they give another… Read more »
Yeah they cancel shows like this to make room or monkey for terrible shows like pickle and peanut XD was on a roll now I almost only watch when reruns are on with girlfriends son
I wasn’t a fan of this series due to Sashi’s character being unappealing and down right hot headed. Though, best regards with the remaining episodes.
So very sad to hear this is ending. This was one of the shows that my son and I watched together and truly enjoyed every minute. We quote lines, talk about the growth of the characters, and are mesmerized by the beautiful art design. We have the highest respect for every talent in this show and will miss these beloved characters greatly.
