Futurama Not Cancelled For Once?

One of the most depressing things I’ve ever heard was that the Futurama staff had already planned a series finale for their run on Comedy Central, just in case they weren’t renewed. To be fair, first there was the lengthy and agonizing cancellation process Fox put them through, followed by that de facto new season of “movies”, followed by a return to Comedy Central, so we guess they’ve gotten screwed often enough to expect it, but still.

They’ll have to move that series finale, thankfully, as Comedy Central pulled the trigger for another season. This is in addition to another twelve episodes in the can that have yet to be aired, so we’ve got at least another twenty-five or so episodes before we have to start bracing to say good-bye again.

As this comes from the voice of Hedonism Bot in his bathrobe (no, really), we’ve got no details beyond the new season, but at least we know it’s there.
