While you wouldn't want to count on Planet Express to actually deliver your packages, Fry, Leela, Bender and the rest of the crew are what make Futurama a fan favorite and have us and others excited to see what they all get up to in Futurama season 12.
The long-running animated series has had plenty of starts and stops throughout its run: it originally aired on Fox for four seasons, was cancelled in 2003; was brought back in 2008 for three seasons on Comedy Central, then was cancelled in 2013; and most recently was brought back for Futurama season 11 on Hulu. It's now ready for its second go-around on the streamer.
Here is everything you need to know about Futurama season 12.

On this orbit around the sun, our occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender's ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags and the true 5 million-year-old story behind the conscious altering substance known as coffee.
