Futurama picked back up by Comedy Central, 13 new episodes in production

Exclusive: Comedy Central Goes Back to the FUTURAMA
Good news everybody! An inside source has revealed exclusively to Collider that “Futurama” has been given a 13 episode order by Comedy Central. Though still technically a rumor at this point, word is that “Futurama” production offices have already opened and that casting is about to move forward.

This should be a welcome surprise to fans of the show who have already gone through the series’ cancellation and resurrection as direct-to-DVD movies.

Look for official word in the very near future. Though animation has a big lead time, I would guess on some kind of “Futurama” presence at Comic Con next month.

They threw away Futurama but keep ordering new Simpsons episodes. It boggles my mind.
