Matt Groening on the Future of ‘Futurama’ as the Series Gets Another Finale: ‘We Will Rise Again’ (EXCLUSIVE)
“Futurama” is over. Long live “Futurama!” As the long-running animated series wraps its Season 14 Monday on Hulu, there are no further plans at the moment for it to return as a regular series. (However, three supersized Hulu specials are still to come). But given how often the Ma
The eternal question: will it ever truly be the end of a beloved series? For fans of "Futurama", the answer may be a familiar "not quite yet". As the show wraps up its 14th season on Hulu, creator Matt Groening is already hinting at a potential revival, or at the very least, a rebirth of some sort. This matters because it speaks to the enduring popularity of the series, which has managed to maintain a loyal fan base even years after its initial run.
The fact that Hulu has commissioned three supersized specials is also telling - it suggests that there is still a strong appetite for "Futurama" content, and that the platform is willing to invest in the franchise. Industry-wise, this move makes sense, as streaming services continue to look for ways to retain subscribers and attract new ones with high-quality, engaging content. By revisiting a beloved series like "Futurama", Hulu is able to tap into a existing audience while also potentially drawing in new viewers.
So what to watch next? Keep an eye on Hulu's plans for those supersized specials, as well as any future announcements from Groening or the show's team. Will they find a way to revive the series in some form, or will these specials truly be the final farewell? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the "Futurama" fanbase will be eagerly awaiting any news about the show's future.
