After being a bit of a net fiasco and rather strange public posturing (it’s been a week of strange posturing on the net) by the studio all 5 of the voice actors are returning to Futurama next season. The voices were proven to be the soul of the show as fandom let their own voices to be heard.
UPDATE: Hitfix is not reporting that Billy West and John DiMaggio have not yet signed, but are close. The others are confirmed.
Katey Sagal, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, John DiMaggio and Billy West will all be returning for next season’s 26 scheduled episodes starting in mid-2010.
“We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back”
“The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.”
- Matt Groening and David X. Cohen (creators of Futurama)
