San Diego Comic Con 2025 Features Futurama Appearance
Get ready, Futurama fans! The much-anticipated Season 13 of the beloved animated series is set to grace our screens on September 15, 2025, exclusively on Hulu. This season will mark a departure from the show's traditional weekly release schedule, as all 10 episodes will be available for binge-watching from day one.
At the San Diego Comic-Con 2025 (SDCC), it was revealed that the new season will delve into time travel, with characters moving back and forth over centuries. While specific episode plot details were scarce, the show's creators have promised a continuation of its signature blend of humor and satirical elements. Expect time-travel complications and ongoing cultural satire, as the show has historically lampooned modern-day issues through its sci-fi future lens.
One of the season's highlights will be a major cameo by NBA star Victor Wembanyama in the season premiere, continuing the show's tradition of featuring basketball-related content. The returning original voice cast and creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen have emphasised the show's resilience through multiple cancellations and revivals, promising more comedic gold for 2026 and beyond.
The cast performed a live table reading at SDCC, giving fans a taste of the new season's tone and direction. Orlando Jones, comedian and actor, was an unofficial guest at the Q&A, engaging in banter with fellow voice actors.
Meanwhile, the previous season 12 has already been released, and the first new season after the 10-year hiatus came out on Hulu soon after SDCC 2023 (season 11). The show has remained one of the most viewed animated comedy series on TV, and since its revival, it has risen to hover between the sixth and eighth most watched series on Hulu.
In other news, Abbott Elementary, the four-time Emmy award-winning show, returned to SDCC 2025 with the laughs, love, and characters from the show. Fans were also given the opportunity to view the first part of Voltron: Legendary Defender this past spring, and the first episode of season four was shown during the SDCC panel last year. Voltron: Legendary Defender had a panel at SDCC featuring producers and cast members, and exclusive merchandise was available.
In conclusion, Futurama Season 13 promises a binge-release format of 10 episodes on September 15, 2025, with time travel as a key thematic element, a notable NBA cameo, and the continuation of satirical, sci-fi-driven humor reflecting contemporary and futuristic issues. The returning original voice cast and the creative team are eager to deliver another season of laughs and satire. Stay tuned for more updates!
