According to the official Hulu Press, Hulu is set to thrill fans of the iconic sci-fi series Futurama once again with the release of ten brand-new episodes in 2024. Following the success of the critically acclaimed revival in 2023, the beloved show, created by Matt Groening (The Simpsons, Disenchantment, The Longest Daycare) and developed alongside David X. Cohen (I Know That Voice, Futurama: The Lost Adventure, Benders Game), is gearing up for another round of futuristic escapades that promise to deliver the same blend of humor, heart, and high-concept science fiction that has captivated audiences for years.
As mentioned in the official press release, in this latest season, viewers will join the occasionally heroic crew of the Planet Express as they navigate a series of mind-bending adventures. Highlights include birthday party games with life-or-death stakes, revealing the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, and encounters with artificial intelligence friends and foes. Fans can also look forward to a storyline involving impossibly cute beanbags and an exploration of the true five-million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. As always, the season will delve deeper into the fateful and time-twisted romance between Fry and Leela, adding another layer of complexity and emotion to their ongoing saga.
Also reported by the official press release, the return of Futurama brings back its talented ensemble cast, featuring John DiMaggio (Adventure Time, Chowder, Princess Mononoke), Billy West (works), Katey Sagal (Scooby-Doo, Space Jam, Disenchantment), Tress MacNeille (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Wakko’s Wish, Tiny Toon Adventures), Maurice LaMarche (Rick And Morty, Zootopia, Balto Two: Wolf Quest), and many more.
