Season 6

Season 6 is the upcoming season of Futurama and the first season of the second run. With 26 episodes, season 6 is so far the largest season, beating season 3 during the original run, which had 22 episodes.

Broadcast wise, season 6 is going to be the seventh broadcast season, though, while things have yet to be confirmed, it may seem likely for such a big season to be split up into two broadcast seasons.

Production
Immediately after Bender's Game was announced, members of the media and fans starting discussing the possibility of Futurama returning as a TV show. With the release of Into the Wild Green Yonder the speculation became intense. On 7 June, 2009, Collider.com posted a rumour about a new TV season. Two days later, Comedy Central officially announced its return.

Plot speculation is currently high, as only a small amount of information has come out of the production company. Story lines involving addictions to iPhones and Twitter, as well as a "shocking sexual relationship" are among the rumoured story lines for the upcoming season. David X. Cohen has stated that season 6 will focus greatly on every day life in the future, and be more focused on characters. In response to the rumour that Matt Groening was thinking of rebooting the series, a la J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, Cohen denies it, calling it speculation.

Recently, it was announced that Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio and the rest of cast might be completely replaced when Fox could not meet their salary demands.
