Into the Wild Green Yonder

Into the Wild Green Yonder, sometimes known as The Wild Green Yonder, is the fourth Direct-to-DVD film, to be released in 2009.

As of 8 July, 2007 the voice acting for all the films (which includes the fifth season) is finished, according to Lauren Tom. Guest stars include Penn Jillette, Snoop Dogg and Phil Hendrie, the presence of Hendrie may suggest the return of The Waterfalls, specifically Frida Waterfall, who was introduced in "A Taste of Freedom" voiced by Hendrie.

According to the DVD commentary of, the truth about the mysterious "Number 9 Man" (seen in season one and two and also ) will be revealed, and he will be given a speaking role. The commentators also mention that there will be some golfing involved.

Since it is most likely this film is going to be released in 2009, it may just be released on the tenth anniversary of the series, which would be March 28. It has been confirmed for April 2009 in Europe, so this is very likely.

David X. Cohen released a tiny bit of plot detail:

An interview with David X. Cohen also suggests that part of the film will rely heavily on Fry and Leela's relationship.

The title is a take off of a lyric in the song of the U.S. Air Force.
