Also, the range and appeal of Futurama is so broad and our universe so large we simply have a lot of stories left to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for what the future of the show holds, she added: \u201cHopefully even more episodes and the nature of Futurama really lends itself to features, so movies would be great too. The series looks fantastic on a big screen!\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"highlight \"> <div class=\"highlight__content editor-content\"> <p><em><strong>Sponsored by Disney+<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get three months of Disney Plus for just \u00a31.99 a month<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Disney Plus is inviting you to be their guest this September for 75% off!<\/p>\n<p>For a limited time only, new and returning customers can get three months of Disney Plus for just \u00a31.99 per month, down from the usual \u00a37.99.<\/p>\n<p>That means three months of unbeatable Disney content, including the new series of Ashoka, The Little Mermaid, and the brand new Pixar film Elemental \u2013 what can we say except you\u2019re welcome?<\/p>\n<p>The offer lasts from 6th to 20th September and after three months your subscription will automatically renew to the premium price of \u00a310.99.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/disneyplus.bn5x.net\/c\/1236178\/771464\/9358?sharedid=summerpromo23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">Get three months of Disney Plus for \u00a31.99 a month<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <\/p><\/div> <\/section> <p>But, before then, we\u2019ve got more episodes to look forward to as part of season 8. Katz told <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> of what\u2019s to come: \u201cZapp finally gets \u2018cancelled\u2019 in a very humorous way, and we have one of our best season finales ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n<p>The new season once again follows 25-year-old pizza delivery boy Philip Fry (voiced by Billy West) who, after tripping and falling into a cryogenic freezer in 1999, woke up 1000 years later with a new bunch of pals including Leela (Katey Sagal), a one-eyed alien, and a foul-mouthed android called Bender.<\/p> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div
