Good news, everyone! Futurama has been renewed.
At the Futurama panel at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, the crew confirmed the show is coming back. This time not in the usual episode format, but as a run of three extra-long specials, kicking off with a big Xmas spectacular in 2027.

Here is the exact transcript of the announcement:

Audience Member: Are you planning to do any more multi-episode specials?

David X. Cohen: Well... Oh my goodness, what a question. There is some discussion of that. I don't know if we're allowed to—Are we allowed to talk about it?

Matt Groening: We're not really allowed to talk about it, but let's talk about it!

Billy West (as Professor Farnsworth): Good news, everyone!

John DiMaggio (as Bender): We're back, baby!

David X. Cohen: So, man, we couldn't have—I feel like we put fake questioners in the audience. Like, we were gonna have our cast members ask the questions you're asking as fake questions at the end, but you guys are too good. You're too on top of it.

You know, we have this new season coming out August 3rd, but what's happening beyond that? We are renewed!

And as we've discussed a bit, again, thanks to your brilliant questions, but we are renewed and we are going to try something a little different as we do once in a while. We are going to be making, instead of a season of short episodes, a season of extra-long specials. We're gonna be making three extra-long specials as our—as our next release. The first one will be a big Xmas spectacular for 2027, so that'll be the first of a series.

So thank you, Hulu, Disney, 20th Television for the pickup. And we are back.

A quick reminder for everyone heading to Comic-Con.
There is a Futurama panel happening this Saturday. If you get the chance, stop by Hulu's Fandom Fuel Up and check it out.

The user reviews for the episodes are open again!
Genau, you can once more write your own review for every single episode. Head over to the Episode Guide, pick an episode, and tell the world what you thought of it.

One small piece of house-keeping: every review has to be manually approved before it shows up on the site, so it will take some time before yours appears. Please be patient, nothing is lost, it is simply waiting in the queue.

And with that, we are finally ready for the new season starting August 3. Ordnung muss sein!

Set a course for August 3rd, everyone!
Hulu just dropped a brand new teaser image over on their Facebook page, and it is a beauty. The whole crew is crammed into a sinking Planet Express pod: Bender, Leela, Fry, Amy, Professor Farnsworth and Zoidberg all going down with the ship while a shark fin circles in for good measure. "New season on the horizon," indeed.

The new season lands August 3rd on Hulu (and on Disney+ for bundle subscribers). We're all looking forward to it. Awesome sauce! Can't wait for it to come back.

See you on the couch, meatbags.

With the new season coming up on August 3, I have decided to move forward with the restoration project I started three years ago with some of my students. I tasked them with taking the code from the old CGEF and porting it into Next.js instead. The old code was Perl, which was only maintainable by our own tech god [-mArc-], who is no longer actively maintaining the site. I have replaced him with mARC 7G, who will now be taking on the role of lead technical contributor in his place!

In any case, first of all, a shoutout to Ortwin, Bo, Robbe, and Yaseen (who sadly passed away a year after completing his project). They helped me in a huge way by creating the first prototype. Since then, it has been lying on my hard drive doing nothing. Then I realized that I could use AI to fill in the missing gaps, so, full disclosure, I used Claude Code to finish up what they started. I know a lot of people dislike the use of AI, but without it, I would not have been able to accomplish this feat. The usage of AI is justified in my opinion with full disclosure, and it is not to be used to generate art (I promise I will not do this on this website).

You will notice that a lot of parts of the code are now marked as legacy content. Because I think CGEF has become a source of nostalgia and has historical value, I decided to bring back all the old content, but with a banner stating that it will no longer be updated. If anyone still needs those Nokia 3210 ringtones or Winamp skins from 20 years ago, yeah, they are still there!

Now enjoy the almost fully restored version of Can't Get Enough Futurama!

Bite my shiny metal bricks!
Good news, everyone! If you have ever wanted to build the Planet Express headquarters on your own desk, now is your chance. Brickcraft has put their Futurama Planet Express HQ brick set up for limited preorders, so the famous green delivery building can finally take its place next to your other nerdy shelf treasures.

You can grab it straight from Brickcraft or over at Target. Preorder numbers are limited, so do not wait around like Fry stuck in a cryo-tube for a thousand years.

Sadly, it does not come with an Angry Dome... which, frankly, makes me kind of angry. TO THE ANGRY DOME! Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop!

In memory of Figueira Júnior
Sad news today. Figueira Júnior, the Brazilian voice actor who gave Philip J. Fry his voice in the Brazilian dub of Futurama, has passed away on June 27, 2026, following a cardiac arrest.

For many fans his voice was a part of their childhood. Beyond Fry, he is perhaps best remembered as the unforgettable Brazilian voice of Android 17 in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super, bringing that calm confidence to the character, just as he brought humor and heart to Fry. Behind every iconic character is a voice that makes them unforgettable, and Figueira Júnior gave the Brazilian Futurama fans memories that will live on forever.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, colleagues, fans and the entire Brazilian dubbing community during this difficult time. Thank you for the memories, the emotion and the voice that will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Figueira Júnior. 🕊️💙
