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
Already after Bender's Game began media starting debating the possibility of Futurama returning as a TV show, but it was really after the release of Into the Wild Green Yonder that the speculation got intense. But it was not until 7 June, 2009, when Collider.com posted a rumour about a new TV season, two days later, Comedy Central officially announced its return.

Right now, plot speculation is high, as only small information have come out of production company. But story lines involving addiction to iPhones and Twitter, as well as a "shocking sexual relationship" are among some of the story lines for the coming season. David X. Cohen also mentions that season 6 will focus greatly on every day life in the future, and be more focused on characters and comedy. In response to the rumour that Matt Groening was thinking of rebooting the series, sort of like Star Trek, Cohen denies it as speculation.
