Futurama is back!

It was about a year ago there were reports that Futurama was coming back and now TV Squad has a post about recent news from Comic-con of the return.

The show will return on November 27th as a full-length high-def film sold on DVD. It will be followed by three additional films, and each film will be divided into four episodes each to be aired on Comedy Central. So, that's 4 DVD movies or 16 new episodes depending on how you look at it.

The four movies are:

Bender's Big Score - [imdb]
The Beast with a Billion Backs - [imdb]
Bender's Game - [imdb]
Into the Wild Green Yonder - [imdb]

After Bender's Big Score the others are planned to be released throughout 2008!Zapp Brannigan: Captain's journal. Stardate...uh...
Kif: April thirteenth.
Zapp Brannigan: April thirteenth...point two. We have failed to uphold Brannigan's Law. However, I did make it with a hot alien babe. And in the end, is that not what man has dreamt of since first he looked up at the stars? [pause] Kif, I'm asking you a question!
