Good news, everyone! 🍾 After decades of cancellations, revivals, and cult status, Matt Groening’s beloved sci-fi sitcom Futurama is officially returning for its 13th season on September 15, 2025, streaming exclusively on Hulu, Hulu on Disney+, and FXX.

The new trailer promises the same absurd humor, social satire, and heart that have made Futurama one of the most enduring animated comedies in television history. Let’s take a look back at the series’ journey, recap where we left off, and preview what’s in store for Season 13.

🚀 A Quick Futurama Recap

The series follows Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a slacker pizza delivery boy from 1999 who’s cryogenically frozen and wakes up in the year 2999. He lands a job at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company run by his eccentric descendant, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.

Alongside Leela (Katey Sagal), the competent one-eyed captain, and Bender (John DiMaggio), a foul-mouthed, beer-guzzling robot, Fry bumbles through adventures across the galaxy. The show blends wild futuristic scenarios with relatable workplace dynamics, romance, and sharp satire on modern society.

Over the years, Futurama has tackled everything from environmental collapse to religion, bureaucracy, love, and existential dread—all wrapped in biting comedy and heartfelt storytelling.

📺 The Show’s Long, Winding Journey

Futurama first premiered on Fox in 1999, but was canceled after four seasons in 2003. Thanks to reruns on Adult Swim, the show found a passionate new audience. That fanbase led to four direct-to-DVD movies in 2007, which were later repackaged as a season on Comedy Central.

From 2010–2013, Comedy Central aired new episodes, but the show ended again with its emotional finale, Meanwhile.

In 2022, Hulu revived the series with a 20-episode order. Season 11 premiered in 2023, Season 12 in 2024, and now, thanks to fan love and streaming success, Futurama is back again for Season 13 and already confirmed for Season 14 in 2026.

🔮 What to Expect in Season 13

According to Hulu, the new season continues Futurama’s tradition of lampooning current issues through the lens of the 31st century. Expect biting satire, interplanetary chaos, and the Planet Express crew in plenty of ridiculous situations.

Confirmed Episode Titles (Sept. 15 Release)

Here’s a peek at the upcoming lineup:

“Destroy Tall Monsters” – Written by David X. Cohen
“The World is Hot Enough” – Tackling climate change in true Futurama style
“Fifty Shades of Green” – A parody-filled adventure
“The Numberland Gap” – A math-inspired reality-bender
“Scared Screenless” – Technology meets terror
“Wicked Human” – A human vs. robot morality tale
“Crab Splatter” – Likely a Zoidberg-centric gem
“The Trouble with Truffles” – Food, greed, and maybe a new alien delicacy
“The White Hole” – Cosmic absurdity at its best

Fans can expect plenty of returning favorites, like Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg, alongside cameos from head-in-a-jar celebrities and pop culture parodies galore.

🏆 Why Futurama Still Matters

Even after 25+ years, Futurama has remained a cultural touchstone. The series has won six Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Animated Program), multiple Annie Awards, and continues to rank among the greatest animated shows of all time.

What makes it so special? It's a balance of biting humor and genuine emotion. Episodes like Jurassic Bark, The Luck of the Fryrish, and Meanwhile prove that beneath the sarcasm and sci-fi chaos, Futurama has always had a heart.
