Season 7 is the upcoming season to succeed season 6 in 2012. It has been confirmed by Comedy Central and Twentieth Century Fox Television, as well as voice actors and various media outlets. With 26 episodes, it will tie with season 6 as the Futurama season with the most episodes.
Production
On 16 June, Maurice LaMarche announced on his Facebook that he had started recording the first episode of season 7.[1][2]
History
Pre-production speculation
On 22 March, 2011, Maurice LaMarche announced on Facebook that there was going to be a seventh season of Futurama, as he stated he just closed his deal.[3] In addition, according to Maurice LaMarche, the deal contains at least 13 episodes, to air in summer 2012, with an optional 13 extra, to air in summer 2013, making 26 in total, just like season 6.[4] On 24 March, media reports including Entertainment Weekly began announcing that Comedy Central has indeed picked up the series for 26 episodes to be split up into the ninth and tenth broadcast seasons, each consisting of 13 episodes to be shown in 2012 and 2013.[5][6] On 28 March, Comedy Central and Twentieth Century Fox Television announced the pick-up of broadcast seasons 9 and 10 (branded as Seasons '7-A' and '7-B', respectively).[7]
Revelations from the production team
In a June 2011 interview with UGO.com, on the day of the broadcast season 8 premiere, David X. Cohen revealed the first plot points of season 7. He said that they had just recorded an episode that he believed would be the season 7 premiere, in which Planet Express gets a new soda machine and Bender impregnates it. He also said that they were going a bit more topical - they are doing an episode about the Earth presidential election of 3012 to mirror the United States presidential election of 2012, and they are doing an episode about someone predicting a 3012 doomsday to mirror the 2012 doomsday.[8]
At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, more storylines were revealed. In one, Hermes will realize he is less efficient than a machine, so he will chop some unnecessary parts of his body and will become a cyborg.[9] Another has Calculon competing in the World Acting Championship to the death.[9] Others include Leela being shocked when Zapp Brannigan loses interest in her and he starts a romance with her mom and Professor Farnsworth's parents are still alive and living in the Near Death Star.[9]
The US Copyright Catalogue revealed two episode titles ("Farewell to Arms" and "The Bots and the Bees") in August 2011,[10] four episode titles ("Blue Munda", "Decision 3012", "The Thief of Baghead" and "The Butterjunk Effect") in September[11][12] and one episode title ("The Six Million Dollar Mon") in October.[13] On 26 September, writer Eric Rogers commented on Twitter that "Blue Munda" was not the actual title of an episode, but rather a working title.[14]
On 26 October, Eric Rogers revealed on Twitter that his episode would contain a musical performance.[15] He also confirmed that he will be writing 2 episodes for season 7A. [16]

So I think that will be the premiere for 2012. And actually I think we're going to try to be a little bit topical, which we rarely do, but 2012 is kind of a big year because it will be the presidential election, and also because the end of the world has been predicted. [...] So we're also planning a 3012 presidential election with a candidate who challenges Nixon, except that people begin to suspect that the candidate was actually not born on earth, and they demand to see his earth certificate. That's one that we're working on. And based on the 2012 prediction, we're going to do a 3012 doomsday prediction episode. '" — Cohen, David X.
