New ‘Futurama’ Trailer Welcomes You To The World Of Tomorrow… Again
It’s been 10 years since the final flight of the Planet Express ship, but Fry, Leela, and Bender will be back on July 24 with new episodes of Futurama, and Hulu has released the trailer for the show’s 11th season.
The show is a cult classic that turns on the adventures of delivery boy Philip J. Fry, who accidentally freezes himself in 1999 and gets defrosted in the year 3000. In an alarmingly familiar future, Fry befriends a hard-drinking robot named Bender and falls in love with a cyclops named Leela. The trio finds work with Fry’s distant nephew Hubert Farnsworth, who runs an interstellar delivery company.
Show details:
- Season 11 includes 10 episodes that will be available exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. When the platform agreed to defrost Futurama, the streamer ordered 20 episodes, meaning a 12th season is on the horizon.
- Futurama premiered on Fox in 1999 and was canceled for the first time in 2003. The show later returned with four movies that were released between 2007-2009, which were later split into episodes and organized as individual seasons when the show began streaming. Comedy Central then revived the show in 2010 before canceling it again in 2013.
- The show was created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen. The duo executive produces alongside Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz.
- The show’s original voice cast is back for the reboot, after a brief bit of drama, including John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman.
