Hulu has a bit of “good news” for Futurama fans. The streaming provider announced on Twitter today that Bender and the gang (yes, John DiMaggio will be reprising his role as Bender) will return for season eight on July 24th. After the eighth season’s announcement in early 2022, DiMaggio said in a tweet that he would not be returning to the show after a pay disagreement with Disney and Hulu, though he quickly changed course. Series creator Matt Groening and producer David X. Cohen are returning to lead Futurama once again.
As reported by Variety, the eighth season will consist of two parts, with an initial run of 10 episodes. The new season airs on Mondays, on a weekly basis on Hulu. Notably, this is the second time (or fourth time, depending on who’s asking) the show has been brought back, and the first time the show will be airing first on a streaming platform. Hulu did not announce an air date for part two, which will include an additional 10 episodes.
Futurama originally debuted in 1999, with the first four seasons airing on Fox. The show then had a new home on Comedy Central, which aired seasons six and seven, which ended in 2013. The so-called “fifth season”, which was also under Comedy Central, was a series of four movies that were eventually split into short-length episodes. Now, after being canceled and renewed several times by several cable networks, the next season lives on in the streaming world nearly 10 years after the last season had aired.

The Electronic Wireless Show is not bound by your mortal rules, which is why even though this is a PC gaming podcast we’re going to talk about Zelda, dammit all, because everyone else gets to talk about Tears Of The Kingdom and we’re just as cool as them. We (attempt to) talk about our favourite Zelda games of the past, our favourite Zelda-likes on PC, and I explain how Tears Of The Kingdom works to Nate and James. Honestly though, we don’t make it very far, because it turns out the lads haven’t ever played a Zelda game before. At least, Nate might have. We’re not entirely sure.
We do also talk about what we’ve been playing this week as well – which include some old favourites, some new secrets, and Gaben’s tiny hands – and give some great new recommendations. Nate also delivers a very involved mini-game involving beans and aliens, and James doesn’t talk about the Asus ROG Ally.
