Hulu has announced the premiere date and released the first teaser for the revival of the popular animated series "Futurama."

The highly anticipated eighth season of "Futurama" will debut on Hulu on July 24th, with new episodes airing weekly on Mondays thereafter. This season, also referred to as Season 11, consists of 10 episodes. Hulu had commissioned a total of 20 episodes back in February 2022. To give fans a taste of what's to come, Hulu has unveiled the first teaser for the new season.

This revival marks the second return of the show since its original run in 1999. After the initial four seasons aired on Fox, the series found new life through reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and DVD releases. Subsequently, four direct-to-video films were produced, which were later edited into a fifth season that aired on Comedy Central starting in 2008. Comedy Central went on to air two additional seasons, each consisting of 26 episodes, between 2010 and 2013.

According to the official synopsis, the new season will provide a fresh starting point for new viewers while offering long-time fans resolutions to longstanding mysteries. These include developments in the epic love story of Fry and Leela, the enigmatic contents of Nibbler's litter box, the secret history of evil Robot Santa, and the whereabouts of Kif and Amy's tadpoles. The new season will also explore timely topics such as the future of vaccines, bitcoin, cancel culture, and streaming TV.

The original voice cast, including Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman, will reprise their roles. John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender, initially announced he would not be part of the new episodes due to a pay disagreement with Disney and Hulu. However, he later joined the project in March 2022.

Series creator Matt Groening and producer David X. Cohen are returning as executive producers, alongside Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz. The animation is provided by Rough Draft Studios, with 20th Television Animation serving as the studio behind the series.

Hulu has delighted "Futurama" fans by announcing the show's return for its eighth season on July 24th, 2023. The upcoming season will reunite fans with beloved characters like Bender, Fry, Leela, and the rest of the Planet Express crew.

While the original plan included 20 episodes for this season, Hulu did not provide an explanation for the reduced episode count. Speculation suggests it may be related to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. We have reached out to Hulu for clarification and will update if we receive a response.

Viewers can look forward to streaming the new season of "Futurama" every Monday, enjoying a 10-episode run filled with classic storylines such as Fry and Leela's romance, Nibbler's litter box, and the mysterious history of Robot Santa. The show will also incorporate themes inspired by current events, including a pandemic, vaccine-related narratives, cryptocurrency, and more.

The journey to bring back "Futurama" has been a winding one, with several cancellations along the way. It has been a decade since Comedy Central canceled the show in 2013.

Last year, negotiations to reunite the entire cast encountered difficulties when John DiMaggio (Bender's voice actor) publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the initial offer from Hulu, prompting fans' concern. However, a few weeks later, an agreement was reached, and DiMaggio received a pay increase, albeit described as minimal by Deadline.
