Variety.com is reporting that a revival of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's "Futurama" is a go at Hulu, under the auspices of 20th Television Animation.

The series is set for at least 20 episodes, with the majority of original voice cast members confirmed to return. (John DiMaggio [Bender] is currently unattached, with Bender set to be recast if DiMaggio proves unavailable.)

Production is set to begin this month for a scheduled 2023 release.

Futurama ended perfectly. Just because streamers are desperate for content, doesn't mean every show under the sun needs to be revived or rebooted.

As Professor Farnsworth would say, "Good news, everyone!"

John DiMaggio has officially signed on to reprise his role as Bender.

In a statement released to multiple outlets (such as Variety), DiMaggio said:

(Poster's Note: The profanities in Mr. DiMaggio's statement were censored by me.)

"I’M BACK, BABY! So d**n grateful for the love and support of fans and colleagues alike during this whole time (especially my wife, Kate), and I cannot wait to get back to work with my ‘Futurama’ family. #Bendergate is officially over, so put it on the back of a shelf behind Xmas decorations, or maybe in that kitchen drawer with all of the other c**p you put in there like old unusable crazy glue, or maybe even put it in a jar you save farts in. Whatever floats your boat, I don’t care, you get the picture. I’M BACK, BABY! BITE MY SHINY METAL A**!"
