Original Futurama Cast Seals Deal With Fox

Posted by Soulskill on from the good-news-everyone dept.

Svippy writes "As we discussed earlier, 20th Century Fox Television was attempting to recast Futurama. As it turns out, this was just part of a big negotiation ploy, and the original cast have now completed their deals to return with the show's new episodes. For those of you who did not follow the story, a chronology of the events and reactions from the cast members are available at Infosphere and Voice Actors in the News. Series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen said, 'We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.'"

    Fry- Can I come back at severely reduced pay?
    Hermes- Of course! In fact, severely reduced pay all around!

    Let's hope life didn't imitate art. These people are worth it. Heck, I'll even watch the commercials ... in my dreams.

      You're not a true fan, I'll record the commercials and watch them twice.
