Futurama Season 11 Review? ›

Futurama Season 11 delivers a decent amount for fans to enjoy. Its nods to the past and heckling of our present bring lots to make a viewer smile, but rarely illicit genuine laughter. Its obsession with its own past ultimately holds it back from being the forward-thinking, ground-breaking comedy it once was.

Futurama season 11 revives the show 10 years after its 2013 cancellation, maintaining the charm and humor of the original series.

Good news for fans currently enjoying the 11th season of Futurama on Hulu — although we're just midway through the season, there's already a 12th season of the show in the works… and New York Comic Con 2023 attendees are going to be amongst the first people in the world to get an early look.

Fry was 25 when he was frozen in the Futurama pilot, meaning that he was 1,025 years old when he arrived in the future. Futurama season 11 takes place in 3023, meaning that he would be around 49 years old during the season.

Groening and Fox never reached an agreement on the show's regular time slot, leading to people losing interest in the animated series. Despite the lack of an official cancellation, Fox stopped buying episodes during the fourth season, causing it to go out of production in 2003.

It's no big deal, and they quickly make up. Later in the episode, they also reconcile with Bender at the end. The episode concludes with Fry and Leela still living together, and it does not appear to be a major problem, at least for now.

DiMaggio, who voiced the robot Bender in the original Futurama run, is not currently returning due to a salary dispute. EW reported earlier that while West and Sagal accepted Hulu's offers, DiMaggio felt his was too low and he countered. A stalemate has now occurred, with neither side appearing to budge.

Voice actor John DiMaggio, who brought the alcoholic robot Bender to life in every Futurama episode, won't be back for the recently announced series revival. According to a statement published by DiMaggio on Twitter, the reason is that Hulu refused to negotiate proper payment for all returning cast members.

While there has been no official statement from Hulu or Matt Groening regarding the change in Leo Wong's voice actor, the reason behind it appears to align with the recent trend of avoiding stereotypical portrayal of characters of color by white actors.

Is Futurama over for good? ›

Despite some uncertainty about John DiMaggio's return, #Bendergate was soon resolved, and the entire main cast was confirmed to reprise their roles. So here we are. Futurama on Hulu will premiere on July 24, 2023, a decade after its last finale. The first ten episodes will air this year, with the second half in 2024.

The original 72-episode run of Futurama was produced as four seasons, however Fox broadcast the episodes out of the intended order, resulting in five aired seasons (though the first season was aired entirely in order). As consequence, the show's canon is disrupted by the broadcast order.

Is the new Futurama good? The last time Futurama had a reboot, reviews were underwhelming, and fans thought the energy had somehow changed. But now, as Hulu takes up the mantle of this Sci-Fi classic, they do so loyally and with a genuine effort to recreate Futurama in all of its old glory.

Fry is once more depressed that he didn't get to tell his mother what he wanted to, however, Nibbler says Fry will be rewarded.

Fry discovers his bank account interest has made him a billionaire and buys the one thing the year 3000 doesn't have: anchovies. Fry discovers his bank account interest has made him a billionaire and buys the one thing the year 3000 doesn't have: anchovies.

The professor, Leela, and Bender then find Fry in bed with Mildred and point out that because Fry was still alive after his grandfather's death, he had become his own grandfather and that he had still slept with his own grandmother.

Futurama is back yet again, returning for a 20-episode season on Hulu. And it's as good as… well, not ever, but certainly about as good as the show regularly was during its past revivals on DVD and Comedy Central.

Is Futurama's Season 11 Debut Any Good? It's safe to say that The Impossible Stream proves that the Futurama formula is effortlessly intact. The series' premise works almost like clockwork as the fictional future of New New York takes on current events to provide sharp social commentary.
