Get ready to crank up your F-Ray Specs, and prepare for the intergalactic ride of your life as your favorite cult-adored adult sci-fi animation leaps back onto the small screen this summer. Yes, folks, you heard it right – Futurama is back, resurfacing from its cryogenic slumber and warping its way onto your screens via Hulu in its 11th season, and boy, are we thrilled!
It’s been a staggering decade since we last joined the space-faring crew aboard the Planet Express ship. The brainchild of the legendary Matt Groening, this Emmy-laden cosmic gem has already navigated a galaxy of networks, beaming onto screens first via Fox in 1999, then rebounding onto Comedy Central. Now, it’s ready to launch into the streaming stratosphere with Hulu – or should we say, Fulu?
To whet our appetites, Hulu dropped a tantalizing teaser, filled with the absurd antics that we’ve come to adore. And yes, we’ve also been graced with a snazzy image, tongue-in-cheekly paying homage to the show’s brand-new streaming platform.
Robot Santa Claus, Calculon, the always flustered Kif under the tyranny of the egotistical Zapp Brannigan, and the feared Mom, all make an appearance in this bite-sized 17-second teaser. Yes, it’s fleeting, but it’s enough to make us giddy with interstellar anticipation!
As we dive headfirst into Season 11, here’s what’s in store: After a slight detour of a 10-year hiatus, Futurama is back, its original cast and razor-sharp satire unscathed. This fresh batch of 10 episodes promises to cater to all – whether you’re a newbie to the Futurama universe or a seasoned veteran. Long-time fans, get ready for some resolution to mysteries that have been brewing for decades.
What’s the next chapter in Fry and Leela’s star-crossed love story? What hidden secrets lurk in Nibbler’s litter box? What dark history surrounds the nefarious Robot Santa? And, where on earth are Kif and Amy’s tadpoles?
Plus, the Planet Express crew isn’t shying away from contemporary issues. Get ready to witness their take on the future of vaccines, bitcoin, cancel culture, and of course, streaming TV.
Your favorite voice artists are back, too – including John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman.
Futurama is scheduled to make its grand return on July 24, unrolling new episodes weekly. With Hulu confirming a 20-episode order in February 2022, we’re only getting started. More Futurama goodness is heading our way!
So, buckle up, folks! We’re in for a wild, hilarious ride across the cosmos!
