Good News Everyone! Futurama Revived for 26 New Episodes!

Futurama Renewed by Comedy Central
Good News Everyone! Or as Hermes might say, “Sweet gorilla of Manila!”

Futurama has been picked up and revived by Comedy Central for 26 new episodes! A rumor has been circulating the internet that Comedy Central was seeking to pickup Futurama for 13 episodes, but the news is even sweeter now that it’s 26.

Futurama originally aired on Fox for 4 seasons, until it was canceled back in 2003. Since then, for the past 6 years, fans of the show have been showing anger over the unjust cancellation. After all the years, Fox picked Futurama back up for 4 straight to DVD movies, which turned out to be huge successes.

As a die hard fan of Futurama, this news is nearly bringing a tear to my eye. Futurama is easily, in my opinion, the best computer animated TV show. If I happen to watch an episode of Family Guy or The Simpsons, I always wish it was Futurama.

20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden:

When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing — that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived. But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt (Matt Groening) and David (David X. Cohen) agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell.

We can expect the new Futurama episodes to begin airing sometime in mid-2010!

    Happy & Sad …

    I Live in France and i’m a BIG FAN of the SHOW, having all DVD’s, episodes and movies …
    I’m really happy to see it back, and happy that it’s on Comedy Central.

    But the fact that it’s on Comedy Central now is also a bad news, as here in Europe we can’t find DVDs of South Park (only the 4 first seasons). I’m affraid we’ll not have anymore DVDs of Futurama in France :(

    Haha in 2003 i didn't know about futurama… I started watching it on the internet a few years ago, shocked to find out after i watched all episodes the show had been cancelled ages ago, i couldn't beleave it (btw the last episode was awesome). Last year all old episodes aired on comedy central for the first time in holland (my country) and my love for futurama was renewed, Back than i had no idea why so now i searched for it and turns out they aired at the same time they started making new episodes!

    Just a few more days =)
