I think "woke" is a meaningless in this context because from the characters point of view this is exactly how the world is and should be. "It's a true honor to announce the triumphant return of 'Futurama' one more time before we get canceled abruptly again," added Groening. or really anything other than the present," said Cohen. "I'm thrilled to have another chance to think about the future.
Production will begin this month with an eye towards a 2023 premiere. Should that not happen, Bender will be recast.

Original series cast members Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman will all return.
Cohen developed the original series with Groening, the series creator. From the report: Variety has learned that the streaming service has ordered 20 new episodes of the adult animated sci-fi comedy series. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have some binging to do."Hulu has ordered a(nother) revival of Futurama," writes Slashdot reader aitikin, sharing a report from Variety. With that in mind, perhaps the best way to honor "Futurama" is not to keep begging for more, but simply to continue appreciating it for millennia to come - and given the series' continued success via syndication, streaming, and even a mobile gaming venture, it seems certain that fans will be flying the friendly skies with Fry and the gang for the foreseeable future. No matter how many time-shifting devices and/or scenarios you encounter, it's important to appreciate what you have while you have it. After all, one of the key narrative threads throughout the show's largely remarkable 140 episode run was that time is finite. Not just because "Meanwhile" was one of the best and most effective series finales in the history of television, but also because such fond farewells are so rare in an era when networks and streamers always seem to have their axes at the ready. In all honesty, we can't help but feel that new "Futurama" episodes would seem extraneous in the wake of that finale. And it's why - even after that unexpected gift of a 52 episode revival - "Futurama" fans still clamor for more comically cosmic adventures with Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Doctor Zoidberg, and the rest of the Planet Express gang. It's a big reason the series' storied legacy only grew (along with its fanbase) in syndication, which led Comedy Central to revive the show in 2010. The show's blend of low-brow humor, high-minded insight, and raw, unabashed emotion is what helped make "Futurama" a cult hit in its initial run on Fox. Rating challenges and cancelations aside, every step of the way, Groening and company consistently made " Futurama" that rarest of animated series that could just as easily make you double over in laughter as openly weep into the cosmos. It also saw the perpetually ratings-challenged show get canceled by Fox after five glorious seasons, only to be reborn at Comedy Central nearly a decade later, then canceled again after an additional four seasons. The series' fractured run saw it cop a handful of Emmys, score a fiercely devoted fanbase, and make a legitimate case for being one of the best animated series of all time.
