Futurama Revival Announced By Hulu
They're Back, Baby!
Fans of the hit animated series Futurama are in for some good news, with the announcement that the series is returning!
Futurama is being revived for a second time on Hulu for a 20 episode run, after its original two runs spanning from 1999 to 2013. The second revival is set to premiere in 2023. The series originally ran for four seasons on Fox but was soon dropped from their production schedule.
The series was revived for an additional two seasons and four films (which were split into four-episode arcs as the fifth season) by Comedy Central. Many fans believed the series ended perfectly, with Fry and Leela living their lives together as the rest of the world was frozen by a broken time device.
Futurama's second revival is set to be produced by 20th Television Animation and the majority of the main cast is set to return, with Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman all returning.
One major name that was not on this list was John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender Rodríguez. DiMaggio has not been confirmed to be a part of the cast, however, the actor did provide an update about this on his Twitter about his involvement.
Thanks for the concern and the props, everyone. I really appreciate it. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you posted, but until then… CHEESE IT! #bendergate
