Hulu’s unexpected reboot of “Futurama” was a surprising success


One of most popular animated series of the 21st centurythe abolition of Futurama in 2003 was met with confusion and frustration, and Comedy Central revived the series in 2009. Unfortunately, this revival only lasted until 2013, when the franchise was once again left in the dust. Not surprisingly, the same calls for the series to return in 2003 were heard again in 2013 and remained until the show was eventually picked up by Hulu. quickly became one of the streamer’s most popular titles. In this Hulu reboot, the show went back to basics, with the witty brand of comedy that made the original episodes so popular returning in full force. This was not without urgently needed update for some characters and relationships, much to the admiration of the audience.

Positive praise for the reboot came from both the public and critics, highlighted by Collider’s Nate RichardWHO said in his review:


“Much like the recent revival of Beavis and Butt-Head, the new season of Futurama is the perfect example of how to bring back an animated series in a way that appeals to new audiences while still pleasing those who have been with it from the beginning. It knows that it doesn’t have to rely on flashy guest appearances or age up the characters or bring in a variety of celebrity voices. The passion the Futurama team feels for these characters and this world is palpable in every single moment of these new episodes. Some of the jokes feel a little dated and don’t quite land, but overall it’s a strong return to a beloved series.”
