That's right. As reported by Variety, Hulu has ordered 20 new episodes of "Futurama." Production is set to begin some time during this month, February 2022, with the premiere scheduled for some time in 2023. Creator Matt Groening of "The Simpsons" fame will be back, as will David X. Cohen, who developed the series.
Even better, most of the original voice talent will be returning. Variety has confirmed that cast members Billy West, Katey Sagal (Leela), Tress MacNeille (Linda), Maurice LaMarche (Morbo and various other characters), Lauren Tom (Amy Wong), Phil LaMarr (Hermes Conrad) and David Herman (Scruffy and various other characters), will all be back.
John DiMaggio, who voiced fan-favorite Bender, isn't yet attached. According to the report, producers are hopeful that DiMaggio will be back, but if not the role will be recast.
It's difficult to imagine the show without John DiMaggio, but either way, it's still great news that there will be more "Futurama" in the near...future.
