Good news, everyone! The Hollywood Reporter reports that Comedy Central has ordered 26 all-new episodes of one of the greatest animated shows of all time, Futurama. Now that Comedy Central has aired all the original episodes, along with the four DVD movies, they are hungry for more! The unusual number of episodes, 26, suggests that Comedy Central will air two, thirteen-episode seasons. The original cast and core writing team are expected to return. The show is currently scheduled to return mid-2010.
