Futurama Revival Renewed for Two Additional Seasons at Hulu
Hulu is putting plenty of gas in the Planet Express Ship, renewing Futurama for Seasons 13 and 14 (20 episodes total), TVLine has learned. Season 12, which was part of the revival’s initial order, is set to debut sometime in 2024.
Futurama stars the voices of John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman. It follows the exploits of Phillip J. Fry (West), a pizza delivery guy who accidentally cryogenically freezes himself, defrosting 1,000 years later in a world populated by talking aliens, alcoholic robots… and Zoidberg!

The animated series was created by The Simpsons mastermind Matt Groening, who executive-produces alongside David X. Cohen, Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz.
Futurama premiered in 1999 on Fox, where it aired for four seasons before being canceled in 2003. The franchise returned via several direct-to-DVD movies — Bender’s Big Score (2007), The Beast With a Billion Backs (2008), Bender’s Game (2008) and Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009) — before being formally revived on Comedy Central from 2011 to 2013. It would be another decade before new episodes would air on Hulu.
