Following the finale, the second half-hour show will commence, with co-executive producer Patric M. Verrone and supervising director Peter Avanzino joining the group. The second show will include reactions to the finale, along with behind-the-scenes details and answers to fan-submitted questions.
After running on Fox from 1999 to 2003, "Futurama" was resurrected when Comedy Central aired four direct-to-TV movies as 30-minute episodes. Based on the popularity of the episodes, Comedy Central ordered new run of the show, which began in June 2010.
