Hulu is rebooting Futurama with most of the original voice actors on board already. John DiMaggio who is the voice of Bender and Elzar and a few others is still in negotiations. I'm betting he'll be on board, he is still working a lot and recently worked on Disenchantment with Groening.
20 episodes ordered. If you don't think this is cool you can bite my shiny metal....
I was expecting more Dacia Sandero content.
Heard yesterday, looking forward to it :)
They have their own pretty big shoes to fill. WIthout the right Bender, this project is Boned.
I'm still a bit annoyed with the comedy Central reboot. Even after the movies, comedy Central took the show in directions that just didn't feel right for futurama.
Hopefully, hulu does better, but if they can't get DiMaggio or the handful of others back that haven't signed on yet, I won't watch at all.
I was really surprised by this after hearing for years from the creators that they were happy with where they got to conclude things. I thought they had done a good job rounding out the show and giving each character a worthy conclusion.
Not sure where else there is to go from here, but I'll be along for the ride.
Love the first few seasons of this show...but the first reboot and this one do nothing for me.
And the same for the new King of the Hill, which is one of my favorite shows ever. I just wonder if too much time has passed. Will the spark still be there?
Without DiMaggio it'll suck. I think they did this the last time they rebooted it but it was Billy West last time. Considering he voices about 75 percent of the cast he would have been hard to replace.
Hopefully everyone will come to their senses

I wonder how they'll pull that off since the actors for both Luanne and her husband lucky are dead (Brittany Murphy and Tom petty)
With Bender back, It'll defiately be watchable
In reply to Mndsm :
For Luanne and Lucky being gone, I can see them being caught in a Tornado or some kind of other accident, and Peggy and Hank taking care of the baby
