Futurama is bringing back main characters for the show’s 11th season as the release date of the next installment in the Hulu series is announced
A new preview for the returning animated series Futurama has been released ahead of the show’s 11th season returning to Hulu this summer after announcing the series’ revival last year.
Originally created in 1999 by The Simpsons creator Matt Groening, the show revolves around pizza delivery boy Philip J. Fry (voiced by Billy West).
Fry is accidentally frozen but thaws out 1000 years later where he starts working at a company run by an elderly relative in cargo delivery.
The show ended in 2013 after 140 episodes which are split into 10 seasons.
The 17-second preview, released Friday, shows a series of clips of the show’s characters as the series is set to return to the air in July.

The montage ends with the reveal that the first episode of the series will begin on July 24, with new episodes coming every Monday.
Since the show began 10 years ago, the show’s three main voices — West, DiMaggio, and Sagal — have been busy with other projects.
West, whose credits include The Howard Stern Show, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and the 1996 movie Space Jam, has also appeared on Netflix’s Disenchantment and Disney’s Big City Greens in recent years.
Best known for playing Peggy Bundy in the comedy Married… with Children, Sagal has had a number of roles in live action projects, including The Conners, Torn Hearts, Rebel, and Dead to Me.
DiMaggio has lent his talents to projects like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Perry Mason and Interview with the Vampire.
Other notable cast members returning for the revived series include Tress MacNeille, Phil LaMarr, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom and David Herman, with a number of celebrity cameos also expected.
On the preview YouTube thread for the rebooted series, a number of comments illustrated the excitement and anticipation for the show’s comeback.
