‘FUTURAMA’ CONFIRMED FOR SUMMER 2013 RETURN BY EXEC PRODUCER

To be honest, I had the sense that Futurama would’ve started earlier in 2013, but in this new interview that David X.. Cohen (Exec Producer, Futurama) does with NBC, he confirms that Futurama WILL be back in Summer of 2013 with a probable start date similar to the one we got this past summer. Also like 2013, we are getting a new special of which David talks about in the article:

And you still have more new shows coming up next summer. What can you tease, as far as some storylines or characters that are going to get some attention?

I’ll tell you a little bit about next summer’s three-parter: we’ve established this pattern where we make one of these specials per summer now. So next summer’s three-parter is probably the writing staff’s favorite of the group coming out for 2013. It’s called “Saturday Morning Fun Pit.” And this one you will see “Futurama” re‑imagined as three different morning cartoons like, as I call them, Crap-tastic morning cartoons in the 70s and 80s. I can give you the name of the segments, and that will give you a hint of what you’re in for: The first one is called “Bendy Boo and the Mystery Crew.” The second one is called “Purpleberry Pond,” and the third one is called G.I. Zapp”

So, there you have it folks, NEW Futurama coming soon. The finale episode sounds all sorts of righteous as well and as such makes me all antsy for new episodes sooner rather than later. So yea, who wants some NEW Futurama!?Be sure to read the rest of the article as its an entertaining read.
