Futuristic animated series Futurama made its grand comeback in 2023 with a new season following a 10-year hiatus that left fans desperately wanting more.

Now, the series is back with yet another season, promising to have something for everyone. Fans can also be rest assured that its full original cast and satirical spirit remain intact.

Season 12 sees the crew embark on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), beanbags, and the true five million-year-old story behind coffee.

And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela’s fateful, time-twisted romance.

What happened at the end of Futurama season 11?

Seeing as how it’s been a year since the events of the previous season came about, we don’t blame you if you’ve forgotten what went down in season 11 of Futurama.

The last time we saw the crew there were new developments in the epic love story of Fry and Leela, we explored the mysterious contents of Nibbler’s litter box, saw the secret history of evil Robot Santa, and found the whereabouts of Kif and Amy’s tadpoles.

All the while a whole new pandemic was unleashed in town as the crew explored the future of vaccines, bitcoin, cancel culture, and streaming TV.
