GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!! I come bearing the Good-est News of all!
What could be better news than a series about drag queens playing DnD? Or a Walking Dead spin-off based around Rick and Michonne? I’ll tell you what! After what feels like a thousand years spent waiting while cryogenically frozen, the beloved sci-fi comedy series Futurama IS COMING BACK.
How do I know? Because The Hypnotoad told the people at Deadline itself. All glory to The Hypnotoad!
That means more death by snu-snu! More crimes committed by Bender Bending Rodriguez, and more screeching and scuttling from Dr. Zoidberg, homeowner!
When Does It Arrive?
The series will be beamed down from space and onto Hulu this July! The first episode “The Impossible Stream” will air on July 24th, and new episodes will be released weekly for a 20 total episode run!
What’s The Plot?
The plot? There is no plot! It’s Futurama! Well, if I had to make a guess, I would wager that the series picks up right after the tearjerker seasons 10 finale. You know, the one where Fry and Leela wandered planet Earth while it was frozen in time and lived out their beautiful lives in peace? At the end of the episode, Professor Farnsworth appears to an elderly Fry and Leela in a time travel device that will allow the couple to return to the past and live out their lives with each other all over again. The pair say yes, oh how witheringly romantic! And I’m sure that season 11 episode one will feature Fry and Leela stepping out of the time travel machine and back into their young bodies to get into more space hijinks with their friends!
And what hijinks there will be! According to IMDB, the first episode “The Impossible Stream” will center around Fry and his attempt to binge watch every TV show ever made. The next episode will feature Kip and Amy along their adorable/gross bog children! How sweet and revolting!
Will The Original Cast Be Returning?
Good news everyone! THEY WILL BE! Billy West will be reprising his role as the pizza delivery boy Phillip J. Fry, along with Dr. Zoidburg, Professor Farnsworth and the million other characters he voices. John DiMaggio will be returning as his robot best friend Bender, and Katey Sagal will be voicing kick-ass spaceship captain Turanga Leela. Series veterns Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman will also be returning!
Is There A Trailer?
Oh yes there is. In the words of Bender… WE’RE BACK BABY!
