Production Season 4 was the fourth and last season of the first run of Futurama. It consisted of 18 episodes, and ended with what became a 'series finale'. It was not until 23 March, 2008, that a new episode of Futurama would air on television again.
Production season 4 was broadcast as both season 4 and 5. Fortunately, the last episode, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" aired as the last episode of the first run of Futurama.
[edit] Plot development
This season continues on the relationship between Amy Wong and Kif Kroker, but also reveals the truth about Turanga Leela, that she is not an alien, but a mutant.
[edit] Production
The people at FOX Network told the writers and producers that this season might be the last thing they were ever going to do. But there was a 50-50 chance that the show might get picked up again. The writers, specifically Ken Keeler, wrote the season finale, which turned out later to be the series finale, as a closure episode, but without wrapping everything up.
