Good News, Everyone! ‘Futurama’ Is Coming To Syfy
By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 4, 2017 6:30 am EST
For a while, Netflix had all of Futurama’s episodes streaming, but in June the streaming platform removed every episode before season six – a bit of a blow since, like most long-running shows, the later seasons were never able to reach the heights of the earlier ones. If you’re still itching for earlier Futurama episodes and not in the mood to purchase season DVDs, there’s hope yet! Syfy has just announced they’ve inked a multi-year, non-exclusive deal that will include all 140 episodes of Futurama.
Syfy has been working hard to overhaul their brand in honor of the channel’s 25th anniversary, with president of entertainment networks at NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Chris McCumber saying:
Syfy has been giving the go-ahead to brand new shows, including the Superman prequel Krypton, George R.R. Martin’s Nightflyers and Deadly Class from the Russo Brothers. Futurama will be the first fully-animated series in Syfy’s new and improved line-up. Regarding the Futurama deal, McCumber said:
“I can think of no better occasion than SYFY’s 25th anniversary to get back to our roots, double down on premium original programming, and put fans at the center of everything we do. As the only television network dedicated to the genre 24/7, we’re building the ultimate universe for this passionate community to call home.”
Futurama will air on Syfy starting Saturday, November 11.
“We’re continuing to invest heavily to give our passionate fans the very best in genre programming, and I can think of no better addition to Syfy’s lineup than one of my personal favorites, Futurama.”
