Summary
Futurama season 11 returns with new episodes after a 10-year hiatus, maintaining the charm and humor of the original series.
Hulu will release the remaining 18 episodes of Futurama season 11 on a weekly basis, separated by a mid-season break into two volumes containing 10 episodes each. The anticipated release date for the season 11 finale is January 2024. Whether a season 12 will be produced is contingent upon the ratings and fan support of the show.
After being off the air for a decade, Futurama season 11 makes its highly anticipated return with a fresh batch of episodes featuring the hilarious misadventures of Fry, Leela, and Bender. Originally debuting in 1999, the adult animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama faced its second cancellation in 2013 when Comedy Central decided not to renew it. For ten years, the series remained in syndication limbo until Hulu stepped in and ordered a one-season revival in 2022. Finally, on July 24, 2023, Futurama season 11 premiered, much to the delight of fans.
Retaining the original voice cast, the first two episodes of Futurama season 11 capture the essence and charm of the show's most beloved moments. By erasing the season 10 finale in its season 11 premiere, the Matt Groening series cleverly incorporates meta jokes as it bounces back from its previous cancellation. Moreover, the revival of Futurama seizes the opportunity to give long-neglected characters like Amy Wong their moment in the spotlight. As the season progresses, viewers can look forward to many more episodes filled with the hilarious and outrageous antics of Fry, Leela, and the rest of the gang in Futurama season 11, which will continue airing throughout the summer and fall.
There Are 18 Episodes Left In Futurama Season 11
The excitement is far from over for Futurama season 11, with 18 episodes still yet to come. However, the season is being split into two parts, each consisting of 10 episodes, with a break in between. Hulu has given Futurama season 11 a 20-episode order, similar to their recent sitcom How I Met Your Father. While sitcoms on Hulu and FX typically have season orders of around 10 episodes, the platform clearly has faith in the animated series' comeback by granting it 20 episodes.
The remaining 18 episodes of Futurama season 11 will be released weekly on Mondays. The first batch of 10 episodes will continue until September 25, at which point the show will take a break for an undisclosed period of time. If we consider the two-month hiatus for How I Met Your Father season 2, we can expect Futurama season 11, episode 11 to return on Hulu as early as Monday, November 20.

Futurama’s Season 11 Finale Is Expected To Be Released In January 2024
The exact date of Futurama season 11's finale is uncertain due to the unconfirmed return after its mid-season break. However, if the expected return on November 20th occurs, the final episode is likely to premiere in the new year. Specifically, it is possible that Futurama's season 11 finale will be released on January 22, 2024. Should episode 20 of season 11 debut in January 2024, the series will have spanned an impressive 25 years, making it a remarkable achievement for the animated sitcom.
The possibility of Futurama season 12 occurring after the initial 20-episode order of the revival remains uncertain, but it is highly probable given the ratings of the series. Futurama season 11 has received critical acclaim and contributes to the expanding repertoire of adult animated sitcoms on Hulu. Despite multiple cancellations, the dedicated fanbase of this show continues to support it. Although an official announcement might not be made until after the premiere of Futurama's season 11 finale in early 2024, the chances are favorable for another season in Hulu's revival.
