Ross and Rachel, Pam and Jim, and Jess and Nick are just a few TV pairings that have endured.
After Fry accidentally freezes and wakes up 1,000 years in the future, their romance was a major part of Futurama from 1999 to 2013.
Fry falls in love with Leela, the one-eyed Planet Express captain, in 3,000. Their connection is rocky.
After a 10-year break, Disney Plus will resurrect Futurama. How will their relationship fare? Billy West, who voices Fry, Farnsworth, and Zoidberg, teased fans.
A decade ago, Fry and Leela grew old together while the rest of the universe was stuck in time.
They accept Professor Farnsworth’s offer to relive their youth. How would that affect their relationship?
Billy kept quiet about Fry and Leela’s future, but he did provide some key details.
‘I can’t say anything. I’ve got to keep some things secret, but I know that people will not be disappointed in any way with what’s going to happen,’ he answered cryptically.
Intriguing!
As for what fans can expect from the rest of season 11, the voice star vowed that it’s ‘the same humour you know and love from Futurama’ with the original cast.
‘They take you down a certain road and then do a detour to surprise you. I like the take they have with the comedy,’ he shared.
‘There are some great topics in the storylines this season, including pandemics and whether the universe is a simulation or not. We get to find out about Kif and Amy’s children, as well as whether Zapp Brannigan gets cancelled again. There are a lot of parallels to what’s going on in our world – except Futurama is 1,000 years in the future.’
Before the revival announcement, some viewers may have assumed Futurama had ended in 2013.
Billy admitted that the cast are ‘getting used to this resurrection stuff after being revived a few times’.
‘I guess it’s like a zombie show. It dies and then it comes back, luckily for all of us,’ he acknowledged.
When questioned on whether this will be the absolute final season or if there’s more in store for Futurama in the future, he added: ‘To answer your question, I don’t know. Maybe we’ll go into Futurama: The Next Generation next because I don’t know how long I’m going to be around.
‘However, whatever I’m doing, I’ll always come out of hiding to do Futurama. I hope there are many more years to come.’
Futurama is available to watch on Disney Plus.
