"Matt Groening has revealed that Comedy Central has entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the new movies as new episodes in an episodic format in 2008."

"Ftopel writes: "After DVD revived "Family Guy," Fox looked at their other major prematurely cancelled cartoon for a possible second chance. While "Futurama" will not return to the Fox Network, Matt Groening got Fox productions to give him four whole straight to DVD movies for the "Futurama" crew.
"I was frustrated when it got cancelled, but Fox, 20th Television is the one who came back and said, 'Would you like to do a DVD movie?'" Groening recalled. We said, 'Let's do two' and they said, 'Well, why not three?' and we said, 'Well, why not four?' and they said, 'Okay, four' and then that's it."
After this, Comedy Central won a bid to air the films as new "Futurama" episodes. "We're writing them as movies and then we're going to chop them up, reconfigure them, write new material and try to make them work as separate episodes. Chopped up is an indelicate way of putting it but we are doing them as movies and then we are reconfiguring them and writing new material and narration and this that and the other so that they'll stand on their own as episodes."

It did so well on Adult Swim, they are making more episodes (about 13 of them, I think) that will air on Comedy Central sometime in '08. Fox also has an option on it as well. If the response is great enough, they may bring it back completely.

Far as I know, Futurama is done - and they aren't bringing it back. It's been finished for a couple years now.

Only reruns since it was not as popular as Family Guy to make new episodes.
Maybe they can create a controversial animtion from my site.
