Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening. The series follows Philip J. Fry, who is cryogenically preserved for 1,000 years and revived on December 31, 2999. The show received critical acclaim throughout its run and was nominated for 17 Annie Awards, winning nine of them, and 12 Emmy Awards. It was revived in 2007 as four direct-to-video films, the last of which was released in early 2009. Comedy Central picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes, which began airing in 2010 and 2011. Hulu revived the series with a 20-episode order, which premiered on July 24, 2023.
Futurama is set in New New York at the turn of the 31st century, in a time filled with technological wonders. The city has been built over the ruins of present-day New York City. The Internet is slow and largely consists of pornography, pop-up ads, and "filthy" chat rooms. Television is still a primary form of entertainment.
