"A Farewell to Arms" is the one hundred and sixteenth episode of Futurama, the second of the seventh production season and the ninth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air on 20 June 2012[2] on Comedy Central. An ancient prophecy predicts the world will end in 3012.[2]
Production
In 2012, two revelations concerning the episode were made. On 29 February, CGEF revealed the episode's title, its writer to be Josh Weinstein and its director to be Raymie Muzquiz.[3][4] On 25 April, MSN TV revealed the episode's plot and air date.[2]
In May, Countdown to Futurama began releasing promotional material for the episode. It has so far released three items: a promotional picture showing Leela - on crutches - and Fry on the Planet Express balcony on 7 May,[5] a video clip featuring the crew discussing the end of the world as well as scenes of New New York in chaos on 8 May[1] and concept art of Fry and Leela's Planet Express prom photo on 9 May.[6]
