Futurama Cast Back in Business

The Futurama nightmare with an all-new voice cast is no more.

Variety is reporting Fox and the show’s principal cast including John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille have inked a new deal after weeks of negotiations. Series creator Matt Groening playfully addressed the resolution, “The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.”


The two sides were supposedly so far apart that Fox had put out a casting call for an all-new cast. The news did not sit well with Futurama faithful still riding a high from Fox ordering 26 new episodes of the show in June.

Comedy Central will begin airing the new Futurama episodes in mid-2010.
