A day ago it was rumoured that futurama was reutrning for a new series thanks to Comedy Central. Now its official. Comedy Central have confirmed that they have ordred, not 13, but 26 episodes . Its slated to return to screens mid-2010 (although a small chance Fox may air them earlier). Matt G & David X Cohen will still be working on the series ofc. No word yet on cast or crew (although its rumoured casting for guest roles have begun). The success of re-runs on comedy central and the "blockbuster" performance of the dvd's were enough to warrent a return.
Here's two links to the story: Link 1 / Link 2 / Link 3
