Season 6

Season 6 is the upcoming season of Futurama and the first season of the second run. With 26 episodes, season 6 is so far the largest season, beating season 3 during the original run, which had 22 episodes.

Broadcast wise, season 6 is going to be the seventh broadcast season, though, while things have yet to be confirmed, it may seem likely for such a big season to be split up into two broadcast seasons.

Production
Already after Bender's Game began media starting debating the possibility of Futurama returning as a TV show, but it was really after the release of Into the Wild Green Yonder that the speculation got intense. But it was not until 7 June, 2009, when Collider.com posted a rumour about a new TV season, two days later, Comedy Central officially announced its return.
