Futurama is back! Again! This time, at least, we knew it was coming. The series, most recently revived by Hulu, returned after 10 years in 2023—and is now renewed up through season 14. Season 13 is the next to arrive, and now we know exactly when it’ll be hitting the streamer, with a new twist to its release to boot.
Season 13 arrives September 15, and all 10 episodes will drop together. (Unless you prefer to watch on FXX, then you’ll get two episodes per week starting September 15.) This marks a change from the previous Hulu seasons, which were weekly releases—as were, obviously, the show’s previous iterations on Fox and Comedy Central.
The official description doesn’t tell too much, as you might expect: “Bender is rampaging out of control! A volcano is about to explode! Fry confronts a rival for Leela’s love! And Dr. Zoidberg is rising up to heaven?! The excitement might be too much! You’ve been warned… it’s an all-new season of Futurama!”
But the just-released first-look season 13 photos do reveal a bit more. Like, for instance, fan-favorite supporting character Robot Devil will be back—as will Richard M. Nixon’s Head, which looks to be beefing with Bill Nye the Science Head in an upcoming story. Also, Bender is definitely having a stylishly ancient 1970s moment there.
Futurama is back September 15 and that is indeed “good news, everyone.” It stars John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamar, and David Herman; it was created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen.
