Fry Takes an Epic Ride on Bender's Boat as Zoidberg's Ferocious Sea Monster Wreaks Havoc: A Mesmerizing Twist on an Iconic Painting!

Summary

The show was originally cancelled after four seasons, but fan demand saved it and it has since been revived on various platforms such as Comedy Central and Hulu. Although season 12 of Futurama has not been confirmed, the show has a track record of overcoming cancellations and may be able to do so again, despite potential challenges posed by ongoing Hollywood strikes.

The famous 1831 woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa now features Futurama characters Fry, Zoidberg, and Bender in a new digital artwork. Matt Groening's Futurama, released in 1999, tells the story of Philip J. Fry who is frozen and wakes up a thousand years later. Although it initially ended in 2013, Futurama has been revived by Hulu and is currently airing season 11. The original artwork, created by @the_real_meep, can be seen below and has also been shared on their Instagram.

In the composition, Fry is seen rowing a boat designed in the likeness of his robot pal, Bender, while a monstrous sea creature resembling Zoidberg emerges from the waves in the distance. It is worth noting that the original form of the wave remains unchanged, despite the playful additions of these beloved characters. The Great Wave off Kanagawa is widely regarded as one of the most influential artworks of all time, and its impact can be seen in works such as Van Gogh's iconic "Starry Night." However, the unexpected juxtaposition of Futurama characters within the swirling wave adds a unique twist to its interpretation.

Futurama's Fan Support Has Saved It Before - And Could Again

The above artwork represents the enduring popularity of Futurama, even twenty years after its initial release. Originally airing on Fox in 1999, this animated sitcom lasted only four seasons on the network. Eventually, it found a new home on Comedy Central but was once again canceled in 2013. However, thanks to fan demand, Futurama was saved from permanent cancellation and began releasing new episodes on Hulu in July.

As season 11 concludes, many viewers are eagerly awaiting news about a potential season 12 of Futurama. While there is no official confirmation yet, the show has a history of defying cancelation and could likely do so once again. However, with ongoing unresolved Hollywood strikes, Futurama may face more challenges than usual.

Currently, viewers will need to stay vigilant for updates or continue streaming the remaining episodes of Futurama season 11. The season, comprised of 20 episodes, will be divided into two parts, ensuring that the excitement surrounding Futurama will persist for months. Undoubtedly, the fervor for this series has already thrived for decades, a remarkable achievement in today's world.
