Hulu Has Revived 'Futurama' for 20 New Episodes
Bringing back the original cast members.
Hulu has officially announced the revival of the beloved adult animated series Futurama from creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.
After nearly a decade after its final episode, Futurama is returning to Hulu for a 20-episode run. The series initially aired its first five seasons on Fox before it was revived for three more seasons on Comedy Central. It will now return to production this month for a 2023 premiere on the streaming platform. The revival will see the return of original stars Billy West who voiced Fry, Katey Sagal as Leela and other ensembles who voiced various characters throughout the show, including Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman. However, it is unclear if John DiMaggio, who voiced the “shiny metal ass” robot Bender will return to the show.
Over the years, the show has developed a strong cult following and was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards and totaling six wins including twice for the best-animated program and best individual achievement in animation. The series will join a slew of adult animated series recently revived, including Beavis & Butt-Head, Clone High and Daria spin-off Jodie.
Stay tuned for more information on the official release.
