Yes. According to wikipedia:
On April 26, 2006, the parody newspaper The Onion's real-life entertainment section, "The A.V. Club", published an interview with Futurama co-creator Matt Groening, in which he discussed plans to create four straight-to-DVD movies. Groening noted that co-creator David X. Cohen and numerous writers from the original series would be returning to work on the movies.
On June 22, 2006, Comedy Central announced that at least 13 new episodes were to be produced, to air with the reruns in 2008. Comedy Central also confirmed that Billy West, Katey Sagal, and John DiMaggio would return for the new episodes, with a 2008 debut planned; however, an unofficial fan site reports that the new Comedy Central episodes would consist of the straight-to-DVD movies, each split into 4 episodes (making 16 new episodes) rather than additional new material. According to an interview with David. X. Cohen, the Futurama team are around half way through writing the new season, and Rough Draft Studios have just started animating. The new season will be set two years after the events of the last season, and will re-visit Fry and Leela's relationship and unanswered questions about Nibbler, dark matter and Seymour the dog. A new character has been confirmed, an evil alien nudist named Nudar.
The first movie, currently under the working title Futurama: Bender's Big Score, is in production. The film is written by Ken Keeler and David X. Cohen, and will include return appearances by the Nibblonians, Seymour, Barbados Slim, Morbo, Robot Santa, the "God" space entity, Al Gore, and Zapp Brannigan. In an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Al Gore confirmed that he would appear in the movie, playing his disembodied head. David. X. Cohen later confirmed that he would also appear in the new season, and would be involved in a storyline which will show "what really determined the outcome of the 2000 Presidential election".
In October 2005, Comedy Central picked up the exclusive cable syndication rights to air Futurama's 72-episode run at the start of 2008, following the expiration of Adult Swim's current deal. It was cited as the largest and most expensive acquisition in the network's history.
Currently, Futurama is still syndicated around the world by many TV stations. Follow the following link to see watch channels around the world have futurama on t.v: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_syndicated_broadcasters_of_Futurama

However, on June 22, 2006, Comedy Central officially announced that they have ordered 13 new episodes of the series.[2] If the ratings of these episodes are high enough, the show may be brought back for its fifth season.[3] Futurama is currently syndicated in many countries around the world.

There was a rumor going around that it would return on Comedy Central with 13 new episodes but unforutnately, that looks like it was just a rumor and Comedy Central is just releasing old seasons of the show on DVD.
This may or may not be true though considering some people say Katie Sagal (the voice of Leela) reported on the Tonight Show that she was voicing for thirteen more episodes slated to air in 2008.
I guess we'll just have to wait and find out!

Yes, I heard they are bringing back, just like family guy. I am not sure if Fox is picking it back up or if another channel is.
