Futurama Resurrects Once Again With Season 8 Teaser
Besides the official premier date, "Futurama" released a brief teaser. Starting off with the classic "Futurama" theme and title card, viewers are greeted by the voice of Bender (John DiMaggio), who excitedly proclaims that they're back in typical Bender fashion. From there, the trailer sees Bender hugging Fry and Leela, Robot Santa Claus breaking free from Christmas lights, Nibbler (Frank Welker) tripping out, Calculon (Maurice LaMarche) bursting through the floor, and many other quick snippets of beloved characters.
Speaking with Cinema Blend, Katey Sagal said that coming back for the new season of "Futurama" was one of the easiest decisions of her life.
"I love that job. I just did it yesterday. We recorded an episode and I just ... it was so much fun. It's just great, great writing, great characters. I'm never surprised when it's rebooted because it's constantly rebooted. It has such a great fan base. Thank you to anybody who watches 'Futurama.' I mean it's really not a problem at all, and everybody just falls right in. We know what's happening, so it was great. It's been great."
With new episodes of "Futurama" just around the corner, it won't be long before the crew of the Planet Express flies again.
