Futurama's executive producer Claudia Katz has hinted at the potential for more movies after the show's revival on Hulu. The show was previously cancelled in 2007 but returned with four direct-to-video movies. These movies were later re-edited into 16 episodes and released as a single season on Comedy Central. Katz recently spoke about the show's future, expressing that there are still many stories to tell and suggesting the possibility of future feature films, including a potential theatrical release.
The return of the show took much longer, but Matt Groening, David Herman, and the writers devised a remarkably clever method to bring it back. Moreover, with the expansive range and allure of Futurama and our vast universe, we still have a multitude of untold stories awaiting.
Ideally, we anticipate even more episodes and the nature of Futurama is perfectly suited for cinematic features, making movies an exciting possibility. The series truly shines when projected on a grand scale!
What Does The Future Hold For Futurama?
Viewers were thrilled when Hulu announced season 11 of Futurama in February 2022, despite the series concluding definitively in 2013. Concerns arose initially about John DiMaggio, the voice actor for Bender, potentially not returning due to a salary dispute. However, he eventually signed on along with the rest of the original cast. With season 11 almost halfway complete, fans are anxiously awaiting news about the possibility of a season 12.
Hulu has not yet disclosed whether the series revival will be a one-time event or if there are plans to continue beyond the release of season 11 part 2. The ongoing WGA writers' strike and SAG-AFTRA actors' strike further complicate matters, making it unlikely for any official updates until these disputes are resolved.

Nevertheless, Katz previously expressed optimism about her prospects of producing more episodes of Futurama for the streaming platform. These recent comments could offer an alternative for the show's creators if Hulu chooses not to renew it for another season. Furthermore, the possibility of a theatrical release, similar to The Simpsons Movie in 2007, could help expand Futurama's already substantial fan base. However, only time will reveal what fate holds for Fry and his companions from Planet Express.
