Good news, everyone! Collider.com reports today that an inside source tells them that another season of Futurama may be coming soon to Comedy Central. The rumor has it that 13 new installments of the series would be produced and shown on Comedy Central. The episodes would be standard 22-minute episodes rather than the movie length one’s which have been heading to straight to DVD.
Collider notes that this is still technically a rumor, but that they have been given word that the Futurama production offices have been opened and guest star casting has begun for upcoming episodes. Billy West also hinted at the return of new episodes back in February, so this rumor indeed be the real deal. Should this turn out to be true, we’d expect full confirmation by next month’s Comic Con.
Edit (6/10): The above has been confirmed AND MORE! Today comes confirmation that Futurama will return in not 13, but 26 new 22-minute installments, to start airing in 2010.
that’s good news but, this news sucks, I wish it was on FOX, because in Portugal we don’t have COMEDY CENTRAL… 🙁
futurama is the third best show ever! (after the simpsons and scrubs)
i Can’t wait to see it, yay for futurama
I don’t have Comedy Central but we have The Comedy Network (Canada).
Here where I live, Futurama is shown on YTV and also on Teletoon but I don’t think it has been on The Comedy Network.
Maybe I’ll have to download the episodes.
26? Can only say that this sounds bloomin awesome. Hopefully SKY will at least have the episodes on Sky1 which should be good for me to at least Sky+ them. Hopefully they will still have that special little touch and am really looking forward to it. Hurray.
Sounds great, cant wait for it!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Futurama kicks ass!!!
wow great!!!!! Hopefully I can catch it….
But why is this in the Simpsons channel? doesn’t Futureama has its own channel? But really still a good news…
Airing in 2010 eh! hopefully it will not get in the way of World Cup.
Why question there being futurama news here when you’ve answered your own question by finding this news interesting.
We’ve always provided major futurama news and that’s not going to stop as the two shows are closely linked due largely to matt g’s influence.
If there was a futurama channel it would be tumble weed central.
nice post! i can’t imagine a better show that will be coming back. i loved futurama and i can’t wait to see more episodes.
wow season 6 of futurama would be longer than the record breaking 20 seasons of the simpsons. but i heard the simpsons are having 30 episodes this year. is this true? send a reply to jakefgosox@yahoo.com. and the simpsons havent had 25 episodes in a season since like season 10. and no more than 21 since about that time. that sucks so i hope there is 30 because that would make up for those seasons.
