Prepare to be transported to the year 3000 for the return of Fry, Bender, Leela and the usual cast of twelve-dimensional space monsters. Back by popular demand, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's brilliantly subversive animated sci-fi comedy "Futurama" debuts its sixth season of 12 all-new, half-hour episodes with two back-to-back episodes premiering on Thursday, June 23 at 10:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL, kicking off with a special hour-long block of two back-to-back new episodes. The Emmy® Award-winning series also reaches a milestone on Thursday, September 2, when it celebrates its 100th episode.
"Futurama" follows the life of Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a pizza delivery boy who accidentally stumbles into a freezer on December 31, 1999 and wakes up a thousand years later. In his future home of New New York City, Fry goes to work for the Planet Express Intergalactic delivery company, where he befriends Bender (John DiMaggio), a booze-fueled robot, and sets his romantic sights on Leela (Katey Sagal), a sexy cyclops who enjoys beating him up.
Special guest stars this season include Patton Oswalt, Dan Castellaneta, Stephen Hawking and Buzz Aldrin.
"Futurama," created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen, is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television, with multi-Emmy® Award-winning Rough Draft Studios, Inc. contributing the animation.
