List of Futurama episodes

The American animated science fiction sitcom '' Futurama'', created and developed by Matt Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox Broadcasting Company, aired on Fox from March 28, 1999, to August 10, 2003.

Following a commitment from 20th Century Fox Television to produce four straight-to-DVD ''Futurama'' films, Comedy Central announced in June 2006 that they were resurrecting the show and would air the films as new ''Futurama'' episodes, reconfiguring each film into four episodes, to constitute a fifth season. Comedy Central broadcast the first film on March 23, 2008. Following the four films, Comedy Central broadcast a sixth season of twenty-six episodes, split over 2010 and 2011. A seventh season was announced in March 2011 and debuted in 2012. The show aired its final episode on September 4, 2013. In February 2022, Hulu revived the series with a 20-episode order set to premiere in 2023.

The original 72-episode run of ''Futurama'' was ''produced'' as four seasons; Fox ''broadcast'' the episodes out of the intended order, resulting in five aired seasons. As consequence, the show's canon is disrupted by the ''broadcast order''. For example, the episode " Fry and Leela's Big Fling" follows on from the ending of the previous episode in production order (which is " T.: The Terrestrial"), however, the previous episode in broadcast order is "2-D Blacktop". This was not intended by the show's creators. Moreover, different regions and networks use different ordering for the episodes. Some countries broadcast ''Futurama'' in the intended four-season order. In the UK, the first 13 episodes of the series' second run were released on DVD/ BD as "season five", which is entirely different to the "season five" shown by Fox. This list features the episodes in original ''production order'', as featured on the DVD box sets.

Series overview

Fox broadcast many episodes of the original four ''production'' seasons of ''Futurama'' out of order (though the first season was aired completely in order), resulting in five ''broadcast'' seasons. Comedy Central also chose to air the parts of season 6 and 7 out of order as well. This list follows the season box sets, which feature the episodes in the original, intended production season order, ignoring the order of broadcast.
