Futurama Is Saved! Network and Original Castmembers Reach New Agreement - Blu-ray Forum

When Fox announced the return of Futurama earlier this year, fans were ecstatic. Shortly thereafter, the network let everyone down by saying they were recasting the voices due to salary issues and a decreased budget.

Thankfully, however, disaster has been averted. This very afternoon, Fox has closed new deals with the original castmembers. Says a rep for the series, "Maurice LaMarche announced that he would be returning on his Facebook page." Katey Sagal and Tress MacNeille's deals are official as well, and a Futurama rep tells us, "[We] hope to have deals with all five by end of day."

New episodes of Futurama should be ready by mid-2010.

Are you happy Fox wised up and brought back the original cast? Sound off in the comments. They're listening!

freaking awesome

YEAH! (*jumps and poses in mid-air)
While I kind of figured this would happen, there was still that chance things wouldn't work out. Love that show.

Thanks for the news!

Did they threaten to grind the FOX executives into a fine pink powder that has a million and one uses?

On another note...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Stay away from me you windy barnacle !

That's what Hermes told once to Dr Zoidberg. Don't know why I love that sentence.

We are glad to see the sexy Leela back ... oh yeah and the rest of the cast of course !

quexos · 08-01-2009, 03:38 PM

By the way good news everyone,
It looks like I won't be needing to use one of these, at least for the time being.

ngkf7 · 08-01-2009, 03:41 PM

Just an update, IGN has posted that Billy West and John DiMaggio are also on board now too...FULL CAST IS BACK!
