Bender and Fry fans rejoice! Futurama is in your future!

Comedy Central has annouced that the network has ordered 26 new (!) episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's intergalactic cartoon for the 2009-2010 season, 6 years after the show went off air.

Bring to mind another certain cartoon comedy reborn in the face of fan demand? Not surprising, since Comedy Central's parent 20th Century Fox TV are also the people who brought back Family Guy.

The animated series, Futurama, is slated to return on the small screen early next year, and supervising director Rich Moore is hoping that the upcoming DVD movies will be enough to get more viewers to tune in the show the second time around.

“I think the idea is to capture new fans,” Moore said of their intentions with the Futurama movies, adding that the first one, Futurama: Bender's Big Score, has “lots of action” and “great Bender Zoidberg moments.” He also promised that although the movies will revolve around the old characters, it will still be accessible to viewers who are not so familiar with the show.
