Producer David X. Cohen and creator Matt Groening have signed on to bring its beloved animated series centered around a space delivery crew in the year 3000 back on the air. Original voice members Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman are all set to reprise their roles.
Variety reports that John DiMaggio, who voiced Bender, is not currently attached. However, producers are hopeful DiMaggio will sign back on with the series otherwise the role will be recast.


I mean, he's been working with Greoning on Disenchanted (10 episode went up today btw) so unless he is suddenly really busy, I think DiMaggio will sign on.

Were they? My complaint was they left us, again, but the ending was good so I wasn't disappointed.

Were they?

Yes.

A lot of people (me included) felt like the new seasons weren't anywhere near as good as the original ones (especially the stand-alone movies, which were bleh), and bringing it back kind of ruined what was essentially a perfect series finale. None of the new episodes really did much to justify the revival, and a lot of episodes felt like they were just retreading old ground.

Another reboot now will presumably feel even worse and even more pointless.

People always think they want more of a thing they love, but often shows that go too long or keep getting rebooted just get more and more tired, with less and less passion and worthwhile ideas, so it starts to feel plodding, dull, and mediocre. Far better to just have a fantastic show that only lasts a few years than an average show that never ends.

Plus, there's the added problem that a revival fueled by a streaming service is by its very nature going to have a much more limited audience (ie, anyone who doesn't have or want Hulu won't be able to watch it). And the current success rate of old popular shows revived on streaming services isn't very good - most of them wind up feeling more like terrible nostalgia pandering mediocrity than anything resembling the original success, and they mostly seem to turn out to be fart-in-the-wind afterthoughts that no one gives a shit about six months later.

Sure, a Futurama reboot could be fantastic, but it could just as easily be a sad disappointment.

The last few seasons had some good episodes sprinkled throughout but yeah nothing there held a candle to the first 4.

The Comedy Central seasons sucked ass and only had one legitimately good episode that was on par with the original series.

DiMaggio not coming back is a huge red flag. If he doesn't come back then what's the point?

Pretty much this.

I'd still take Futurama at its worst over Family Guy at its best

I never got the hate for the newer seasons. There's only a handful of episodes I don't care for, and most of them are the anthologies. The Fox seasons had duds too.

Nice!. Definitely going to watch it. I missed a lot of episodes in the last seasons so I need to catch up before this starts. Maybe after I finish Dragon Quest.

The Murphy Brown reboot comes to mind, I think I watched three episodes and ended up retroactively hating the original as a result. It went from being a quirky show about a local newsroom to a vapid vanity project, that is also somehow real world accurate as to the decline in the quality of news sources since the removal of The Fairness Doctrine in the 80's and the subsequent consolidation of station ownership.

I have faith the David and Matt know what they are doing, and even if John doesn't come back they can have a one off line (or even a recurring bit) about Bender "upgrading" his vocal synthesisers, have Matt Berry or David Tenant voice him for an episode.

Invader Zim and Adventure time had streaming "reboots" and they worked out very well.

I think opinions are mixed on the new seasons of Clone Wars and Young Justice though

After the standalone films, I had zero interest in the reboot which I still haven't watched.

It's kinda hard to handle relaunches of things with running storylines. However, there are tons of shows I'd love to see get more seasons (which, for animation, is viable). Spectacular Spidy might top the list.

The animation was actually excellent, unlike the 90s show which constantly reused animation and had terrible CGI cityscapes

Art style is subjective
