While Futurama had its fair share of resurrections, we still miss it on our screens.
So this new bit of news, while not exactly what we wanted, will give us a chance to spend some more time with the crew of the Planet Express ship.
Futurama is OFFICIALLY coming back for a special new episode, reuniting Fry, Leela, Bender and co four years after they left our TV screens.
There’s just one catch though – they’re not actually coming back to television.
Earlier this summer creator David X. Cohen teased that the show would return, albeit in a different form, and it turns out he was telling the truth. When Fry,Leela, Bender and co make their comeback later this month they’ll do so in a new audio episode on Nerdist’s podcast.
In the new episode Fry, Bender, Leela, Professor Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Amy, and Hermes will deliver to a planet called Junkleon 7 where they’ll meet new bad guy Klaxxon: “a nefarious life form composed entirely of soundwaves from 21st-century podcasts”.
The episode wil coincide with a new app called Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow.
The Nerdist Podcast on September 14th.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
