Futurama is set to return next week, albeit in audio form, as Nerdist reunites creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen for a single, 42-minute ‘radiorama’ episode which will debut on the Nerdist Podcast on September 14th.
The new episode ties in with the newly-released mobile game Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow from TinyCo and will see Fry, Bender, Leela, Professor Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Amy, and Hermes encountering the Klaxxon, ““a nefarious life form composed entirely of soundwaves from 21st-century podcasts”, who is out to destroy the Earth with its soundwaves.
Futurama originally aired for four seasons between 1999 and 2003, before being revived in 2007 for four direct-to-video films which were subsequently syndicated as a fifth season on Comedy Central. A sixth and seventh season aired between 2010 and 2013.
