Let’s get the geeky contractual obligation out of the way first, shall we? Good news, everyone! Futurama really is coming back to our screens and there’s a new picture to prove it.
The somewhat creepy yet strangely hilarious image below is from the first proper new episode (we’re not counting the DVD “movie” releases) produced since 2003. Our main question about the picture is: where’s Philip J Fry? And as a follow-up: is he now a serial killer?
As for the series, it’s been far too long a delay, frankly, but thanks to US channel Comedy Central, Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, Bender and the rest of the gang are rocketing back from cancellation oblivion.
Futurama returns to US screens on June 24. There’s no word on when it’ll hit over here, but if we all wish hard enough, hopefully we won’t have to wait..
Thanks to Collider for the spot.
