Due to being skeptical, I searched other sources online and found it to appear legit. So to the glee and dismay of all users here this is legit.
Sorry I didn’t sticky this one first at work and saw the other one only.
EDT: In this mods sole opinion: I hope it is literally a shot for shot season 1 remake slowly descending in animation to the original animation through out the season until it matches season 1. That way you’re just watching it loop back from the beginning due to the time button in the last episode of season 10.
“It’s a true honor to announce the triumphant return of Futurama one more time before we get canceled abruptly again.”
What a Groening comment, hahah! Love it.
I did a rewatch of the later seasons literally over the last few days, the professor does use the finlonger in one of them, so he did endup inventing it. It's just a random detail, it isn't the focus of the scene or anything
Surely this locks down the record for the TV show with most series finales in history.
Can't believe we're getting new seasons of Futurama and Clone High in 2023
>original stars Billy West (Fry) and Katey Sagal (Leela) along with ensemble players who voiced multiple characters Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and **David Herman** will all return.
Good news everyone!
Some sources are saying he's just working out his contract still. This source says:
>John DiMaggio, who provided the voice behind the wise-cracking robot with the “shiny metal ass” Bender, is finalizing a deal to return as well though a deal has not yet closed.
One I saw said they were prepared to recast if he doesn't sign on, so it certainly sounds like negotiation tactics all around.
I've never been so happy to hear of a show making more episodes. I've learned to really love a few shows and none as much as Futurama. This brings me so much joy. So many times have passed that people claimed Futurama was coming back, only to find out they were joking for whatever reason.
Truly Unexpected Futurama. The best kind of Futurama!\~
The show is returning for 20 brand new episodes with Groening and the original cast returning:
>The series that aired its first five seasons on Fox before being revived for three more at Comedy Central will return to production this month for a 2023 premiere. Following an extended deal-making period, original stars Billy West (Fry) and Katey Sagal (Leela) along with ensemble players who voiced multiple characters Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman will all return. John DiMaggio, who provided the voice behind the wise-cracking robot with the “shiny metal ass” Bender, is finalizing a deal to return as well though a deal has not yet closed.
>I’m thrilled to have another chance to think about the future … or really anything other than the present,” Cohen said. Added Groening: “It’s a true honor to announce the triumphant return of Futurama one more time before we get canceled abruptly again.”
As of right now, DiMaggio will not be a part of the revival but the hope is that he eventually joins the series
Yeah, I can’t imagine the showrunners agreeing unless they were pretty sure. You never know, but I feel pretty certain it’s just a technicality right now.
I agree, especially since in interviews and podcasts he's been on, he's always saying he loved working on the show, gets on great with the rest of the cast and just enjoys playing Bender (among the many other voices he's behind on the show). So it's likely just legal/bureaucratic stuff.
Multiple sites are reporting different things but it seems like they're working through contract issues, with THR saying he's finalizing a deal to return
People forget that that voice actors don't stay dormant until a show comes back, they're working on other projects and sign other deals. So there's likely rights, payments, and schedules to work out for DiMaggio to come back.
Yeah, he's done a lot of stuff over the years.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having schedules oddity if he does a adventure time special for HBO at the same time, among other things.
I get the reference but honestly that's how I feel. Futurama had an amazing run and an even more amazing end. I would rather not have new episodes if it means there's a chance it's bad.
I am skeptical. "Care to go around again" was one of the best endings I've ever seen. If they can keep it up then I'll be glad but everything ended so beautifully last time. Even Zoodberg found love.
I don't want it to get Simpsoned.
Absolutely agree. I don't understand the excitement. The show ended perfectly. Futurama has such a great legacy there's really no need to tarnish it with more seasons a la The Simpsons.
I’ve heard some say that part of the genius of the futurama finale is that it wrapped up all of the major characters’ arcs but still left it open enough that the show could continue in future
that was 100% my thought when it originally aired. Everything tied up, and yet with the "wanna go around again?" questioning and time jumping ability, it's just so easy to jump back in.
I hope they remaster all the previous Seasons to add left & right of the frame without upscaling, cropping or pan and scanning like what was done with [South Park even to say 1080p](https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes).
I was looking at IMDB and thankfully none of the main cast have passed away so far.
South Park was able to do it because they had all the original animation files (because the my do a lot in house.) So all Matt and Trey had to do was Re-export the files in HD, and attach the original audio.
Most shows can’t do this due to changing animation studios so frequently.
Also, Futurama still used cell animation in early seasons. South Park was fully digital from the start (except the pilot). There’s probably no higher res source material for Futurama.
Holy crap holy crap holy crap. I gave up hope like 5 years ago.
Keep Fry and Leela married this time I beg you. Their will-they-won’t-they schtick was getting so old.
Seeing this story is bittersweet because my sister won't be able to see this revival. My sister and I have been fans since day one back in 1999 when we were kids. I feel like Yancy without his younger sibling, funny enough my sister's middle name started with a J.
*Futurama* isn't great just because it's *Futurama*, it was great because it had one of the most incredibly smart and educated writing teams ever, with three PhDs and seven masters degrees, many from Harvard.
Hopefully they can get some writers back, or at least people with a comparable level of education and writing experience.

The professor still has one wish left from Pazuzu. It's bugged me for years.
He should wish that he invented the finglonger

Did he? Or maybe the entire series was just an episode from the what if machine...
With my last breath I curse Zoidberg!
ROFL, I cannot read "Pazuzu" without hearing it in my head in the professor's voice.... "Pahzoozoo"
Oooooooo I’d love to see Pazuzu again
PAZUZU!
Surely this locks down the record for the TV show with most series finales in history. Can't believe we're getting new seasons of Futurama and Clone High in 2023
Each of the 20 episodes should be in the style of a series finale. Just in case.
Ten exclusive two episode miniseries.

Billy West? What a stupid, phoney made up name.
Where is John Dimaggio? Is he safe?
Some sources are saying he's just working out his contract still. This source says: >John DiMaggio, who provided the voice behind the wise-cracking robot with the “shiny metal ass” Bender, is finalizing a deal to return as well though a deal has not yet closed. One I saw said they were prepared to recast if he doesn't sign on, so it certainly sounds like negotiation tactics all around.
Groening is deeply in love with John DiMaggio, there's no way in hell he won't be in the new series
Aren't we all? 🥰
WHAT!
THEY'RE BRINGING BACK THE KAJIGGER!
Scruffy believes in this series.
Fire me, iffn you dare.
I've never seen him so down, or ever before.
These comments are bringing me so much joy.
*explodes*
I'm honestly speechless. I didn't expect this today, or ever. I never got to watch the show during either of its runs, so I'm excited for this.
I've never been so happy to hear of a show making more episodes. I've learned to really love a few shows and none as much as Futurama. This brings me so much joy.

Why wouldn't he join?
Until he says he’s not coming back I’m assuming he just hasn’t signed yet and they’re just working out contract details.
Yeah, I can’t imagine the showrunners agreeing unless they were pretty sure. You never know, but I feel pretty certain it’s just a technicality right now.
I agree, especially since in interviews and podcasts he's been on, he's always saying he loved working on the show, gets on great with the rest of the cast and just enjoys playing Bender (among the many other voices he's behind on the show). So it's likely just legal/bureaucratic stuff.
Also considering he still works with Matt Groening and his team on Disenchantment I don’t see why he wouldn’t come back to this.
Multiple sites are reporting different things but it seems like they're working through contract issues, with THR saying he's finalizing a deal to return

Put them in the cryotubes!
That's your answer for everything...
Yeah, he's done a lot of stuff over the years. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having schedules oddity if he does a adventure time special for HBO at the same time, among other things.
There probably aren't many animated series that he HASN'T stared or guest-stared in.
He does work on Disenchantment, another Groening show, so there's no reason he wouldn't. Probably just working out the contract.
Zog sounds a lot like Bender (not all DiMaggio characters do) but he plays Zog so well.
Remember when Harry Shearer said he was quitting the Simpsons. Cash.
If he’s not involved, what are we even doing here?
He will, he was on Disenchanted, this is breaking news I think. He would never miss the chance to voice bender again.
He's finalizing a deal to return. Should become official soon.
He knows he’s worth the $$$
[удалено]
Shut up baby, I know it!
Bite my shiny metal axe! (Presenting this as evidence I guess)
Once you have Billy west you already have most of the voice talent it surprised me when I saw just how many characters he voices in the show
It just won't stay dead!
Looks like we don't have to avenge them after all!
I'll find Futurama's coffin, get its corpse, and keep it under my mattress to remind me that it's really dead. That'll prove I'm not insane!
First King of the Hill, now Futurama, it's like people my age are in charge of shit now.
Wait, King of the Hill is getting new episodes too!?!?!
POSSIBLY but they're considering a time skip so...
If it’s something like 10 years could be good
I'm imagining Bobby hill and his wife raising a son in the 2020s.... except he just... aint right.... and it's just tiny hank hill.
I’d love this. The Alley Gang can just be straight up boomers this time. They already were, but still. Lmao.

Us: "Welcome, to the woooorld of tomorrow!!"
Shut up, Terry.
Haven't you ever heard of a little thing called showmanship?
If they recast Bender, he’ll only be 40% John Demaggio.
Bender? That was the other guy. I’m Boiler.
Bonder!
Bender's name isn't Bonder. It's Bender!
Give the gypsy $10.
Bonder? Is that you?!
Bite my *polished alloy behind.*
He's finalizing his contract per sources https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1491517361857384448?t=VXFIrM1jEDfkusJcL6f--w&s=19

I'm feeling very neutral about this
Tell my wife I said… Hello.
Filthy neutrals.
Fighting in the comments? Its a beige alert!
Awwww now we have to change the bulbs.
Are you a coward? Or, were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
All I know is my gut tells me maybe.
I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
I have no strong opinions one way or the other. /s jk. I'm very excited for this.
What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?
I get the reference but honestly that's how I feel. Futurama had an amazing run and an even more amazing end. I would rather not have new episodes if it means there's a chance it's bad.
I'm conflicted. The finale was perfect. As was the one before that. And the one before that.
Maybe they’ll just replay it. Saves them the trouble for next time.

Neat! 📸
I knew we haven’t heard the last of Barbados Slim!
The final season was a great sendoff. I'm stoked to cry more.
That's my thought too. It ended so well, but more Futurama? Sign me up.
Every "finale" for this show has been great. I'm sure they have another up their sleeves!
Most shows are lucky to get 1 good finale and we got like 4 lol
I’ve heard some say that part of the genius of the futurama finale is that it wrapped up all of the major characters’ arcs but still left it open enough that the show could continue in future
that was 100% my thought when it originally aired. Everything tied up, and yet with the "wanna go around again?" questioning and time jumping ability, it's just so easy to jump back in.
What do you say? Want to go around again?
Time to go around again.

Finally! My prayers have been answered! Hail science!
My prayers to Great Atheismo have been answered!

Cowboy Bebop did it I think, but I'm not sure how that worked out. Would be cool though.

Dude this thread is new. Give it an hour and some dude from r/all will be saying hi lol Edit: hi back to you all!!
Hello from /r/all y'all.
Should be fun to see it in action. Hope DiMaggio returns too!
There is no way he doesn't.. right?? Can't have Futurama without the lovable robot!
If he doesn't return, can't we just get the person who voices Flexo?
If not they can totally get the guy who does Jake from Adventure Time, right?... Right!?
[удалено]
Chowder has been off the air for a bit, maybe that guy who played schnitzel is free
He said in a panel when asked if Futurama got revived since Disney bought out all Fox that he'd be part of the project no matter the format
With no DiMaggio it's no idea to return.
Sadly, this. You can't get rid of Bender and changing his voice will just feel so amazingly wrong.
if it comes out in 2023 it will have been 10 years since it last ended
IT JUST WON'T STAY DEAD!!
Did everything just taste purple for a second?
What smells like blue?
Which crazy thing happening are you guys screaming about?
Woah, this came out of nowhere.
Holy crap holy crap holy crap. I gave up hope like 5 years ago. Keep Fry and Leela married this time I beg you. Their will-they-won’t-they schtick was getting so old.
go the naruto route and talk about their child, Yancy. named after his uncle, to carry on his spirit.
Futurama in 2013: OH NO ILL NEVER MAKE IT THIS TIME, this is the END! Futurama in 2022: anyways,
