Didn't Futurama end? Not like got cancelled, but like narrative wise, didn't they wrap up the series?

There were several season finales that would have worked as show finales including the last one in 2013.

Comedy Central did not renew it but gave the showrunners enough of a lead time to craft a proper finale.

This is the fourth resurrection not second:

Came back as direct to video movies.

Comedy Central bought the rights to those movies and broke them up as a season.

Comedy Central then after the success of that “season” revived it. Then a pay dispute with cast could have derailed that.

Now Hulu is bringing it back and another pay dispute is happening.

No the movies and the seasons on Comedy Central are all part of the same revival. The idea was Comedy Central were buying the syndication rights and they were talking about doing new episodes. So what they agreed on was they'd bring it back as direct-to-video movies and, if those did well (which they did), they'd commission all new episodes and the direct-to-video movies could be split up into four episodes each to make up a fifth season.
