Good News Everyone

Maurice LaMarche, The voice of Kif on futurama recently emailed the guys at bigshinyrobot.com with the following bit of information:

13 new episodes have been ordered, with an additional 13 optional. This is apart from the 13 episodes that will air beginning in June, 2011, on Comedy Central. So, yes, they will air in 13 episode blocks (Comedy Central loves those, for some reason), so that means there will be new Futurama in summer of 2012, and most probably in summer of 2013 as well, all off of this one order. Pretty good news, actually, don’tcha think? Because we kind of spread it out, so there are always new episodes to look forward to. That’s how I look at it, anyway.

Futurama is an undertated show, I for one am looking forward to the new episodes.
