Yes, it seems Fry, Bender, and Co will be back for more adventures.

Provided this lands on a service the girlchild and myself have access to in the UK that will be a very good piece of news.

Futurama really is the show that wouldn't die.

All the previous series are currently on Prime in the UK, whereas they're on Hulu in the States. I'd imagine the new series will end up on Prime over here.

Third resurrection?  Possibly more, depending on how you count some seasons!

Yeah that would be the hope - it was the way the girlchild got into the show, much to the Dad's delight!

Disney+ surely? Don't Fox own it? The other seasons are on it.

Oh, you're right. It's gone to 'rental' on Prime. I hadn't noticed. Yeah... almost certainly Disney+, then!

Well we now have Disney+ so that's a win!

"Good news", though as it stands, John DiMaggio isn't included. What!? Bender is 100% John DiMaggio!

Hopefully he's doing what Dan Castellaneta did and just getting more money out of them. Apparently he "felt the proposal was not competitive based on the success and name recognition of the original series." King Zog obviously doing better out of Netflix (Disenchantment, new series out now!)

C'mon Hulu, let old Bender wet his beak!

Girlchild informed, response

YEAH!

Punched air.

Think she's pleased!

Where have you gone John Dimaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

He's probably making his own show, with blackjack and hookers.
