Comedy Central has ordered 26 new episodes for the series that just won't go away. New shows should start airing in early mid 2010
According to 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden:
When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing — that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived. But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell.
