Futurama, the beloved animated sci-fi series from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen is coming back for another season on Hulu. The show received a revival in 2023, with new episodes hitting the streamer after a decade-long hiatus.
That season, which Hulu dubbed the eleventh one, aired last July. Today, we got a trailer for season twelve that teases a planet made of bowel-moving coffee, Bender drop-kicking a lil’ robot that looks like his progeny, and a ginormous disco ball that destroys a settlement.
It is, in short, Futurama as we know it.
Here’s the synopsis for the upcoming episodes:
On this orbit around the sun, our occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags, and the true five million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela’s fateful, time-twisted romance.
The cast continues to boast the voice talent of John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman. The good news for Futurama fans is that season twelve won’t be the last episodes of the show; back in November 2023, Hulu picked up twenty additional episodes of the series, which suggests that at least two more seasons are coming our way.
The twelfth season of Futurama is set to premiere on Hulu on July 29, 2024.
