Futurama is coming back for season 11 later this summer
Futurama is being revived for an 11th season. The sci-fi comedy series returns to Hulu, bringing his original voice along for the ride — including John DiMaggio as Bender, who was once rumored to be off the show due to pay negotiations that left him hesitant to renew his contract. The series returns on July 24.
Futurama‘s revival was first announced in February 2022, about 10 years after the first incarnation went off the air. The series will return for 20 episodes, though only the first 10 will be part of season 11. The series also appears to be airing only one episode of the revival at a time instead of going for a full season: only the seasons premiere episode arrives on the premiere date.
The series will bring back the series’ original cast, despite initial disagreements with DiMaggio returning as Bender. Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman also return. The series also brings back creator Matt Groening as an executive producer, along with Groening’s co-developer David X. Cohen, as well as Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz.
