Comedy Central Revives 'Futurama'
Latest Fox Project to Reappear on Cable
By James Hibberd

Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.

"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.

"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Apparently, the Fox network has given Matt Groening the rights to do four straight to DVD movies for the FUTURAMA series, even after they cancelled the show a few years ago.

“I was frustrated when it got cancelled, but Fox, 20th Television is the one who came back and said, ‘Would you like to do a DVD movie?’” Groening recalled. We said, ‘Let’s do two’ and they said, ‘Well, why not three?’ and we said, ‘Well, why not four?’ and they said, ‘Okay, four’ and then that’s it.”

FUTURAMA, the TV series, has been picked up for more episodes, but not by Fox. Comedy Central will be airing new FUTURAMA episodes after the straight to DVD movies have been released. Expect many of these episodes to push the limits and be much more extreme because these new episodes will be appearing on Comedy Central.

Has anyone watched it yet? I think this is the first of the 4 new straight-to-video movies, right?

Watched it last night! It's great, but keep in mind, it's just like a really long Futurama episode.



BEST PART is the extras. They've got a Hypnotoad (all hail) extra that's like 21 minutes long, and so awesome it gave me crabs.
