Fry, Bender, Leela and the gang are back. After a decade of waiting, fans will be able to enjoy new misadventures of the 31st century as Futurama will be rebooted this summer on Hulu.
Lauren Tom, who voices the character of Amy, has confirmed the summer release on Twitter, causing a stir among the Futurama faithful.
The new episodes should be released sometime this summer! Can’t wait for you to see them! #futurama

The show follows Fry, an accidentally frozen pizza deliverer, who wakes up 1,000 years in the future and is taken in by his sole descendant, an elderly and addled scientist who owns a small cargo delivery service. Among the other crew members are Capt. Leela, accountant Hermes, intern Amy, obnoxious robot Bender and lobsterlike moocher “Dr.” Zoidberg.
But, what can fans expect from the reboot? So far, the only confirmed guest star is the late Coolio, who recorded dialog for the character Kwanzaa-bot before his passing in 2022.
Hulu hasn’t released a specific date for the show’s return just yet, but we can’t wait to see what’s in store for the crew of the Planet Express ship.
