"Decision 3012" is the one hundred and seventeenth episode of Futurama, the third of the seventh production season and the ninth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air on 27 June 2012[2] on Comedy Central. Leela becomes a campaign manager for a presidential candidate whose birth certificate is missing.[2]

Production

In 2012, two revelations concerning the episode were made. On 29 February, CGEF revealed the episode's title, its writer to be Patric M. Verrone and its director to be Dwayne Carey-Hill.[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 five items: a character design of Bender dressed as Napoleon on 13 May,[5] a character design of Senator Chris Travers on 14 May,[6] a video clip featuring Morbo as the host of a political debate and suggesting that the presidential candidate mentioned in the MSN TV plot is Travers on 15 May,[1] a promotional picture featuring a Robot army consisting of Bender dressed as Napoleon, Destructor, four Killbots and several other machines on 16 May[7] and part of the storyboard showing Bender break into a cave full of Humans and the portion of the video clip where Morbo addresses Travers for the last time on 17 May.[8]
