A press description reads: “After a brief 10-year hiatus, Futurama has crawled triumphantly from the cryogenic tube, its full original cast and satirical spirit intact. The 10 all-new episodes of season 11 have something for everyone.
“New viewers will be able to pick up the series from here, while long-time fans will recognise payoffs to decades-long mysteries – including developments in the epic love story of Fry and Leela, the mysterious contents of Nibbler’s litter box, the secret history of evil Robot Santa, and the whereabouts of Kif and Amy’s tadpoles.
“Meanwhile there’s a whole new pandemic in town as the crew explores the future of vaccines, bitcoin, cancel culture, and streaming TV.”
The full original cast returns for the new season including John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman.
In other news, a YouTuber has used AI technology to imagine what Futurama would look like as a family sitcom from the 1980s.
Created using AI art generator Midjourney and posted by Suburban Garden, the video shows stills of the show’s cast, including Fry, Bender and Dr. Zoidberg, as live-action characters.
Since it was posted in January, the video has attracted millions of views on YouTube.
