What was once just internet gossip that spread across the web like a persistent skin rash has now become confirmed fact.
20th Century Fox and Comedy Central are not only reviving
Futurama, but they want double the initial number of episodes that
Collider.com reported meaning fans can look forward to 26 new episodes the sci-fi comedy series around the middle of 2010.
Variety also reports that actors Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio have also signed up to once again provide the voices for Fry, Leela and Bender. I believe that sound you just heard was the universe being ripped open by this awesome time loop.

As much as I love
Futurama, the new DVD movies always leave me thinking about what could have been. Not that there is anything wrong with them, just how much better it would be if the show had received a
Family Guy like reprieve and went back to full series form. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, yet. I still hold out hope that if the DVDs do well enough, that door could open up again. Fry and the gang are aging remarkably well, after all.
Enough about what could have been though, let's talk about what will be. That, of course, is The Beast With A Billion Backs. The next installment in the Futurama DVD line will be available at hundreds of fine retail establishments, and three shady ones, on June 24th. There's a planet-sized alien, a league of robots, and one of the Planet Express crew will head up a brand new religion. If that's not enough to capture your interest, have a look at the trailer after the jump and learn a wondrous new word. Gentacles.
