It is hard to believe that Futurama has returned for a 12th season but as a Futurama Fan, I am sure glad it did. After a 10-year break, this futuristic animated series made its return in 2023 with season 11. Starring John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamar, and David Herman; season 12 is now available on Hulu. So of course, as this series gets older one question remains, can it still bring the laughs?

Futurama Season 12

Following Hulu’s critically acclaimed 2023 revival of Futurama, the epic sci-fi series from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen returns in 2024 with ten all-new episodes. On this orbit around the sun, our occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags, and the true 5 million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela’s fateful, time-twisted romance.

Futurama Season 12 – Review

Thanks to our friends over at Hulu I was able to get an early screening of the first six episodes and I will answer that main question for you right now… Yes, it still brings the laughs and I can not wait for more seasons. So the great this about this review is I’m going to keep it short and spoiler-free. I mean after 12 seasons of this series creator Matt Groening keeps giving the fans what they expect from this show, and that is a lot of laughs, crazy adventures, and a lot of off-the-wall shenanigans.

The storylines for the Futurama pokes fun at today’s world events. From NFTs and chatbots to animal rights and romance, you get what you expect from and Futurama episode. Also with the cast staying the same they just get better together every season. But also keep an eye out there, like always there will be special guests that make the episodes even better.

My Final Thoughts

As a lifelong fan of Futurama fan I can not get enough of this series. I am just as excited about each new episode as I was when the series first started. It was a long 10 years for the restart of the series, but it was a wait well worth it, Groening and his all-star cast just keeps the laughs rolling. So I give season 12 a 10 out of 10 and it is a must-watch for any Futurama fan!

Futurama Season 12 premieres today (July 29th) on Hulu. Now remember it is a weekly drop so you will have something to look forward to each week to keep the laughs rolling.
