“Futurama” is officially back with Season 14, which returned on Hulu on August 3, alongside a Comic-Con announcement of three new “XXXL-sized” supersized specials set to begin rolling out in 2027. Creator Matt Groening and showrunner David X. Cohen unveiled the new season’s trailer at San Diego Comic-Con days before the premiere, teasing what’s ahead for the Planet Express crew.
Futurama Season 14 Is Now Streaming
Season 14 of “Futurama” began streaming on Hulu on August 3, 2026, continuing the animated sci-fi comedy’s run following its multiple revivals since the original series first ended in 2013. The season was unveiled with a new trailer at the show’s Comic-Con panel just days before launch, featuring Groening, head writer David X. Cohen, and members of the cast and crew walking fans through what to expect from the new episodes.
What’s the Plot This Season?
According to the official rundown teased at the panel, Season 14 has the Planet Express crew “bracing themselves as the future is about to get a whole lot stranger,” promising a run of episodes built around swaggering space pirates, lab-grown meats, and assorted sci-fi-flavored schemes. One storyline getting particular attention involves the “shocking return” of Dr. Zoidberg’s lost love, a plot the panel teased directly by name as one of the season’s bigger surprises for longtime fans of the character.
A Crossover With Disenchantment
Among the new episodes previewed, the panel confirmed one installment will crossover with Matt Groening’s other animated series, “Disenchantment,” reportedly written by Josh Weinstein and directed by Andrew Han. It’s a notable move since it links two of Groening’s shows together on screen for the first time, giving fans of both series a reason to tune in even if they typically only follow one or the other.
Three New Supersized Specials Confirmed
Beyond Season 14, Hulu has greenlit three additional “XXXL-sized” “Futurama” specials, currently in production, with the first one — an Xmas-themed edition — set to kick off the run in 2027. The supersized format gives the writers room to tell longer, more ambitious stories than a standard episode allows, a format the show has experimented with before to strong fan reception. Exact release dates for the three specials beyond the 2027 Christmas installment haven’t been announced yet.
Why Futurama Keeps Coming Back
“Futurama” has now been cancelled and revived multiple times since its original 1999 debut, a pattern that’s become almost as much a part of the show’s identity as its jokes about the year 3000. Each return has found a receptive audience thanks to the show’s loyal fanbase and Hulu’s continued willingness to keep bringing the Planet Express crew back, and the Comic-Con panel’s enthusiastic reception suggests that appetite hasn’t faded. With Season 14 now airing and three more specials already in the pipeline, the show’s current Hulu era looks set to continue well into 2027.
The Voice Cast Returns
Season 14 brings back the show’s longtime principal voice cast, continuing the Planet Express crew’s story with the same core ensemble fans have followed across the show’s original run and its various revivals. That continuity matters for a series built as much around its characters’ long-running relationships and running jokes as its episode-to-episode sci-fi plots, and the Comic-Con panel’s read-through moment with cast and crew present was highlighted by attendees as one of the more fan-pleasing parts of the presentation, giving the audience a preview of the show’s voice work ahead of the season’s actual premiere.
What Sets This Revival Apart
Unlike some of the show’s earlier revivals, which arrived after long gaps and had to reintroduce the premise to lapsed viewers, Season 14 continues directly from Hulu’s now-established run, meaning the storytelling doesn’t need to spend time re-explaining the world of the year 3000. That’s part of why the Comic-Con panel could go straight into new plot specifics, including the Zoidberg storyline and the Disenchantment crossover, rather than using stage time on introductions. Combined with the confirmed supersized specials already in production, the panel signaled a show settled into a stable, ongoing production rhythm rather than one fighting for another last-minute renewal.
