It boasted a monthly run but the final issue 50 was announced in February and was released the following month. An Invader Zim movie — Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus — was eventually released on Netflix in August and, like the comics, served as a continuation of the series. It was initially made for Nickelodeon but Netflix purchased the distribution rights.
In conversation with Polygon , creator Jhonen Vasquez explained why, after years of Nickelodeon asking him, he decided to finally return to Zim:. Heartbreaking stuff sinking years of your life into something people will never see… those years are just sorta buried with no real proof of your existence.

A pilot for Invader Zim was pitched to Nickelodeon in , which led to the series being green -lit. Vasquez indicated that very little of his writing style was changed over the course of Invader Zim , other than restricting certain language and visuals that may not be suitable for children.
Jhonen Vasquez has stated Zim is older than Gaz, and Dib and is not a child and very old, but is years old in Earth years. A smeet baby Irken , Zim was created in an Irken incubation chamber and therefore has no siblings or parents not including whichever previous Irkens whose DNA was used to create him. However, while safe from such pests, their skin cannot tolerate Earth meat , water, or beans, the former burning them terribly and sometimes even fusing to their skin.
They also have negative reactions when exposed to Earth liquids namely water , though Zim didn't exhibit this weakness when splashed with punch. It's likely that Invader Zim is set a few years into the not-so near future, as much of Earth's water appears to be vaguely polluted, the sky is crimson, and extremely advanced technology, such as antigravity and rapid space travel, exist.

Hopefully, this post can get you the clearest and most accurate answer as to why this show ended so abruptly. Due to its frequent use of cg, each episode cost quite a bit to produce, and when the style of the show was made more stylized in season two, the cost likely only raised. Now, you may be thinking, why was it cancelled if it was due to expense? Weren't there full-out all cg shows that should've cost just as much if not more? The answer is yes.
While Zim is one of the most expensive shows, shows like Jimmy Neutron were costly as well. So why wouldn't this be cancelled instead of Zim? This brings us to the second fact.

However, this demographic didn't seem to enjoy it as much as the rest of the viewers, and as Nickelodeon was mainly focused on them, this probably didn't impact Zim too well. Why was the target demographic uninterested, and why was Nick so focused only on them?
This is a major part of the third fact. Here's what is probably one of the biggest factors into the cancellation of Invader Zim. Back at this time, SpongeBob was still the network's pet and that as well as similar shows were given the most marketing and attention.
