Futurama Cast Inks New Deal with Fox, Confirmed to Return
- Thread starter Keane Ng
- Start date
Because FOX kept pushing it further and further aside to focus on promoting Family Guy, proof that viewership the last 5 times around is immaterial if you just keep promoting it to the moon and back enough times. Seriously! Shows get less time to find an audience than they used to, but NO show gets pulled then saved from the abyss that many times. The only reason FOX didn't kill Futurama sooner was because they were being hassled by all those Emmys and nominations it kept winning.Casual Shinji said:
No matter now. Futurama will return and all will be well. I really enjoyed 3/4 of the "movies" season.
"Good news everyone! We're not going to slip into obscurity JUST yet!"
Thank you Leonard Nimoy, truely you helped save Futurama in some way or form, because you are god obviously, and it just makes sense to praise you by your name instead of praising god... as you are him.

They tried to recast the simpson's before for the same reason and uber failed if I recall.Keane Ng said:Futurama Cast Inks New Deal with Fox, Confirmed to Return
Crisis averted, Futurama fans. Futurama's original cast of voice actors has signed a new contract with Fox, erasing fears that Fox would recast the recently resurrected comedy series.
It's okay. Calm down. Stop mashing that gigantic red button and screaming apocalypse. Crisis has been averted as Fox and the cast of Futurama have signed a new contract ensuring that all your favorite voice actors will be on the show when it returns. Dr. Zoidberg will still sound like Dr. Zoidberg. Bender will be Marcus Fenix [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224007/]. Hermes will be, uh, whoever voices Hermes. Oh, it's Phil LaMarr. That guy.
Turns out that all they needed to navigate those tricky contract negotiations is what anyone needs when two parties are trying to get what they want and will refuse anything less: compromise. Fox is paying more than what they want to, and the actors are accepting less. Everybody gets what they want, and some of what they don't.
Fox was already in the midst of a casting call for new actors earlier this month, and seemingly committed to replacing the old cast. Something must have made them reconsider to the point where they'd sit back down at the negotiation table. Maybe it was the unquenchable fan uproar, maybe it was something else. Whatever it was, it doesn't matter. Futurama, as we know it, has been saved.
