Variety reports that talks have begun at 20th Century Fox TV to revive the animated series Futurama, which takes place in the next millennium.
The studio is in early discussions to put Futurama back in production and create a limited number of episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series -- although it's too soon to tell where those episodes might end up, adds the trade.
The final original episode of Futurama aired on Fox in August 2003. But since then, the series has found new life -- and fans -- via DVD releases and repeatedly high-rated airings on the Cartoon Network.
Futurama remains popular enough that Comedy Central even stole away off-net rights to the show's repeats late last year; it will switch to the comedy channel in 2008.
A similar resurgence in interest for Family Guy persuaded 20th Century Fox TV to revive that show, which has produced two seasons of new episodes and a DVD since coming back from the dead. Family Guy now resides as Fox's Sunday 9 p.m. tentpole.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening and "Simpsons" vet David X. Cohen were behind Futurama, which premiered on Fox in March 1999.
Not only that, but Adult Swim ran a blurb that new episodes were also being made (I believe it was that they were direct-to-video releases). And in it was in a serious way. And if it was something serious by AS, you know it has basis in reality. Also of note is that these episodes have the ORIGINAL cast members on board.
Futurama fans, start your engines.
This fills me with joy. I shall surely enjoy seeing new episodes and a proper finale 
Afterall, Futurama actually HAD a storyline, it would be nice to see it conclude.
*dance o' glee* ^.^
i've yet to see the entirity of futurama, but i'm glad it'll be continued!
*squeals*
YOSH! This is indeed good news indeed. Here's hoping to see Futurama once again!

Yay! Futurama's coming back! I've seen my fare share of episodes to know that IT TOTALLY ROCKS!
I've never liked the Simpsons at all, but I absolutely loved Futurama, and I don't think I'm the only one who felt that it ended too soon and that the "finale" was a total rip-off.
OMGOMG I hope the new episodes don't suck. I honestly don't think the new Family Guy's are as good as the old ones. :/
There is a god.
Yeah, Im overjoyed.
I HAVE JUBILANCE.
All I have to say is
OMG YESHYESHYESH!! FAAAAH JOYGASM!
Thank you for your time.

There will not be new episodes. They are creating a number of short, direct to video, movies.
It's STILL something! And that is what matters, right?

Ah. That works too.
