20th Century Fox plans to produce 26 new episodes of Futurama, which will begin airing on Comedy Central in mid 2010.
Billy West (Philip Fry), Katey Sagal (Leela) and John DiMaggio (Bender) have all signed on to return.
As part of the deal with Comedy Central Fox has the option to license the new episode’s original airings to a broadcast network. If that were to happen Comedy Central would pay a reduced licensing fee.
