Overview
- At the San Diego Comic-Con panel on Saturday, the Futurama team debuted a trailer for Season 14 and confirmed the season will premiere on Hulu on August 3 with new episodes released weekly.
- Hulu has greenlit three extended-length “XXXL-sized” Futurama specials that are already in production, with the first scheduled as a Christmas-themed special in 2027.
- The series retains its core creative team and principal voice cast, including Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, John DiMaggio, Billy West and Katey Sagal, who appeared at the panel to present the news.
- One forthcoming episode was reported to be a crossover with Matt Groening’s Disenchantment, with writing and directing credits described in press coverage as reportedly assigned to Josh Weinstein and Andrew Han.
- The shift back to weekly drops and the new specials mark a distribution and programming strategy for Hulu and Disney that pairs regular season installments with standalone event-style episodes to keep the franchise prominent on streaming platforms.
