The world may be reaching all-time levels of weirdness, but thank the Robot Devil, Futurama is still making new episodes. The oft-canceled and oft-revived series has found firm footing at Hulu and is trying a new trick with season 13: a binge release. All 10 episodes will be available at once come September 15, with a tantalizing glimpse at what to expect in a new rapid-fire trailer.
The official season 13 summary, as expected, tells us nothing: “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!” The trailer shows a flashy-dressed Bender on the prowl (also, look very fast in that cruise-ship moment to see Bender’s hilarious choice of bathing suit), the threat of global extinction, Baked Alaska, a new idea of what “USB” stands for, and more.
Created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen, Futurama stars John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamar, David Herman
Futurama season 13 arrives September 15 on Hulu. Will you be binging the whole damn thing at once, or parceling out your nuggets of far-future sci-fi adventures (inevitably gone awry) one by one like it’s still 1999?
