Good news, everyone: The Futurama gang will be back on the delivery route this summer.

The upcoming installment finds the occasionally heroic crew embarking 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 consciousness-altering substance known as coffee,” per the official synopsis.

The season will also explore the “next chapter in Fry and Leela’s fateful, time-twisted romance.”
