We are about 6 hours away from the premiere of Futurama Season 6, with 2 back-to-back episodes at Comedy Central (USA)!

• 10pm/9c episode 6acv01 - Rebirth: After a devastating spaceship crash, the Professor attempts to resuscitate the crew with his birth machine.
• 10:30pm/9:30c episode 6acv02 - In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela: Leela and Zapp Brannigan find themselves stranded on an Eden-like planet.

Please don't forget to watch the episodes, even if you illegally downloaded leaks or something like that, because the ratings are what matter a lot if we want Futurama to stay for good.


Now, there has been a big boom of Futurama news/tweets because of the return of the series, so I have a list of the best articles and interviews with the creators and voice cast of Futurama (some of them have small spoilers):

• David X. Cohen on the New Season of Futurama (New Episode Spoilers!)
  
  • "We don't usually do [..] cartoon jokes. We actually shy away, because we don't want people to think of it as a cartoon"
    
  • "We're going to see a planet on which robots evolve from nanobots and we see the entire spectrum of evolution on their planet"
     
• Exclusive: Futurama Creator Spills on Special Last, Last Episode!
  • "Bender finds a way of making smaller duplicates of himself, and they enter and make smaller duplicates of themselves. So there's an episode which has literally billions of Benders in it"
  • (about one of the last episodes) "[..] It'll be most likely presented as a special that's kind of outside the timeline of the series, again being an abstract episode like the 'Anthologies of Interest', where we will see the Futurama characters in three different animation styles"
     
• David X. Cohen on 'Futurama's' New Season
  • "we're definitely not going to know anything for the future possibilities of the show before we wrap-up production on these 26. [..] (from) the principal writing for the 26 episodes, we've recorded 24 of the 26 already, and the animation has begun on 24 of them"
  • [..] unless we were to get a phone call in the next month, we would start to ratchet down our operation here and the writers are going to go on to other jobs again and so on, but it's familiar territory for us"
  • "But maybe a 'Futurama' movie would be a nice thing to do next. Which is not in the works, but I think by its nature and just the setting, I think 'Futurama' would actually make a great future movie."
  • "We just have a passing reference to Avatar in one of our episodes. [..] There's no full scale parody of it, but we do have a quick joke where they land"
     
• Futurama Re-Enters Orbit With Death Spheres, Robosexual Rights
  • "[..] Even though we try to do gripping sci-fi, we need to have a relatable human story. You need emotional interactions between the characters."
