Is Futurama done, over?

[arcadian]

I just watched the final of the feature movies 'Into the Wild Green Yonder', which I thought was the best of the movies, though the first was pretty good. Anyway, the ending of the movie had a finality to it which gave the impression that that was it it, no more Futurama. I was lead to believe that the movies would be a segue-way into bringing back the series. Anybody know?

1. Maybe, maybe not

Since no new Futurama projects are currently in production, the movie Into the Wild Green Yonder currently stands as the Futurama series finale. However, Groening has expressed a desire to continue the Futurama franchise in some form, including as a theatrical film.<59> In an interview with CNN, Groening said that "we have a great relationship with Comedy Central and we would love to do more episodes for them, but I don't know...We're having discussions and there is some enthusiasm but I can't tell if it's just me."<60> Cohen has also stated that he remains hopeful, telling Wired magazine: "I will no longer rule out any possible means of coming back to life, whether through more DVDs, webisodes or episodes... I'm cautiously hopeful." <61>

According to both Groening and Cohen, DVD sales may affect the chances of Futurama being revived;<60><62> in an interview at Anime SuperCon, Billy West claimed that sales of the other titles in the Futurama direct-to-DVD series have been high enough that Fox has been talking about a potential 6th season.<63><64>

2. No way it will ever be over.

If nothing else, in 15 years the average laptop
will be powerful enough to let its owner create
new episodes equal in quality to the original series.
(Script quality is another story, of course)

And you know a lot of laptop owners are gonna do just that,
once it becomes easy to do.
So even if the owners officially let it die, it's just
gonna rise again as an underground open-source project.
