Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.
"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.
"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Gad, Martin! 
That's great news! I'll drink to that even if it is too early for most folks...
Ya know, Martin... 
You can be replaced. And cheaply, too...
Hey, LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget...
Like... So true!
Hey! 
Us two eyed gals don't do too bad either!
Wow. I wonder what this will mean for the direct to video features that had been previously announced.
And they revived Greg the Bunny? Holy cow. I was pretty sure that I was the only person who ever watched that show.
Good news for Futurama fans!
