The episode's title caption.

Al Jean said of the episode:

Futurama is such an easy fit. (...) It's really funny, and their show lends itself to any variety of plot lines. By having them on, we have a little freedom... The biggest thrill for me is that we don't have to adjust the animation style. [2]

On 19 September 2013, John DiMaggio posted a picture of the episode's production script on his Twitter page, [5] revealing the episode's title.

On 17 December, an interview with David X. Cohen revealed that the episode was being animated. [6]

On 4 March, an interview with Jean revealed that the episode would air in the fall. [7] At the time, the episode was expected to air in May, as the season-25 finale. [2] [8] It was also revealed that Maurice LaMarche, who often guest-stars on The Simpsons, would be in the episode.

On 21 May, Jean revealed through Twitter that the episode was "scheduled to be the first episode [to air] in November", [9] suggesting an air date of 2 November.

On 1 June, Jean revealed through Twitter that, besides Bender, the episode would feature "Leela, Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg, Hermes, Amy, Hypnotoad, Nibbler and more". [10]

On 20 July, Entertainment Weekly published an online article in which the episode's air date was first confirmed. [11]

On 26 July, Instagram user "steelesaunders" uploaded a short clip of the opening titles to the episode, shot at The Simpsons's 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International panel. [12]

On 4 September, Entertainment Weekly published an online article revealing the first official image of the episode and also provided more information on the episode's plot. [4]

On 6 September, Jean confirmed through Twitter that the Futurama characters would retain their normal skin tones in the crossover instead of being coloured yellow like the characters in The Simpsons. [13]

On 9 September, Lisa Simpsons's voice actor, Yeardley Smith, spoke about the interaction between Lisa and Bender during the crossover in an interview with Nuke the Fridge. She said: "Lisa just questions the validity of Bender being one of the most advanced robots that we have ever created. She's like, "Really? I don't think so." But that episode really focuses on Bender and Homer's friendship and relationship, and the similarities, a dubious distinction if I do say so." [14]

On 26 September, David X. Cohen, Al Jean, and British author Simon Singh discussed Singh's book The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets at the London Science Museum, where a clip of Bender and Homer playing "tether boy" was shown. [15] The next day, Singh tweeted a photo of them watching the aforementioned clip. [16]
