Didn't see anything about FOUR (4) movies, only the old posts about 1 movie.

Futurama is to return for four feature-length, straight-to-DVD movies, it has been confirmed.

The cartoon series was axed by broadcast network FOX more than two years ago amid lacklustre ratings but has since performed well in syndication on the Cartoon Network and has sold well on DVD.

Earlier this month it was speculated that the show could follow in the footsteps of Family Guy and come back for a new run of TV episodes but production studio 20th Century Fox TV has now decided to resurrect it via a different medium.

"This Futurama project is a done deal," confirmed Billy West, the voice of Fry, in a post on his website. "Everybody is excited to get back together - as I am!"

Production will begin July or August for a likely release early in 2007.

Here's hope that Zoidburg gets more screen time!

So no show???? Just movies, that is okay, but it would be better with the show back.

"Great news everybody!"

I'd rather have a couple more seasons to watch on Adult Swim, but I guess the movies are better than nothing.:thumbsup:

Hopefully these new movies will be popular enough that they will bring it back as a series.

Argh, they're going to suck and ruin the show, like the new family guy episodes.

well futurama had a story arc at least so i assume they'll stick to resolving that.

Yep. Maybe there's still hope. Big :thumbsup: for the whole project, though.

I agree. I am a poor college student but I will be buying these movies. Hopefully if enough people buy them they'll bring back the series!
