UPDATE: It is official, according to Variety, Futurama is indeed coming back, but not for 13 episodes, but rather a full 23 episode season. Variety goes on to state that “Comedy Central will begin airing the new episodes in mid-2010. Voice actors Billy West (who played Philip Fry), Katey Sagal (Leela) and John DiMaggio (Bender) have all signed on to return.”

Original Story - According the folks at Collider.com, the answer is yes. Purely rumor, but it seems that Cartoon Network has ordered 13 new episodes for a show that had its last new episode in August of 2003. I personally have always been a huge fan of Futurama, and would love for this to be totally true. I will even go on to say that Futurama had a bigger presence in my heart than its currently still running behemoth of a predecessor, The Simpsons. To read the original story, click here.
