‘Futurama' Season 13 Arrives in September as a Binge Release
Season 13 arrives September 15, and all 10 episodes will drop together. (Unless you prefer to watch on FXX, then you'll get two episodes per week starting September 15.) This marks a change from the previous Hulu seasons, which were weekly releases—as were, obviously, the show's previous iterations on Fox and Comedy Central.
The official description doesn't tell too much, as you might expect: 'Bender is rampaging out of control! A volcano is about to explode! Fry confronts a rival for Leela's love! And Dr. Zoidberg is rising up to heaven?! The excitement might be too much! You've been warned… it's an all-new season of Futurama!'
But the just-released first-look season 13 photos do reveal a bit more. Like, for instance, fan-favorite supporting character Robot Devil will be back—as will Richard M. Nixon's Head, which looks to be beefing with Bill Nye the Science Head in an upcoming story. Also, Bender is definitely having a stylishly ancient 1970s moment there.
Futurama is back September 15 and that is indeed 'good news, everyone.' It stars John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamar, and David Herman; it was created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Adds 5 — Including Severance and Frasier Vets
Scoobies, assemble! Hulu's Buffy reboot pilot just added several series regulars to the cast, TVLine has learned. They include a Severance scene-stealer, a Major Crimes detective and Frasier's son. More from TVLine Chris Meloni Joins, William H. Macy Circling Hulu's NFL Drama From Dan Fogelman Washington Black's Sterling K. Brown and Ernest Kingsley Junior Revel in the 'Brotherhood and Mentorship' Hulu's Historical Drama Gave Them Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Premiere Date Revealed - Find Out Who's Returning After 3-Year Absence Sarah Bock (Severance) will play Gracie. Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU) will play Larkin. Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned, Raven's Home) joins as Hugo. All are series regulars. Though no official character information is available, these roles match up with the roles of the new Slayer's close friends that TVLine first reported in March. In addition, Jack Cutmore-Scott (Frasier, Deception) will play the reboot's Mr. Burke (dare we hope he's a Giles-type Watcher?) and Daniel di Tomasso (Major Crimes) will play a character named Abe. Both are series regulars. The potential series continuation, which likely will find original series lead Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her titular role as a recurring guest star, is said to be focused on a new Slayer and 'the next chapter in the Buffyverse.' As previously reported, Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) will play the new lead, who is said to be a brainy and cerebral teen that's possibly more Willow than Buffy. Further details remain TBA. Chloé Zhao (who won a directing Oscar for her 2020 feature Nomadland) is attached to direct and executive-produce the project, with additional EPs including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton. (Berman, the Kuzuis and Parton all executive-produced the original Buffy series.) As for other returning Buffy cast members, no one from the original cast has been confirmed (yet) aside from Gellar herself. 'We will try to find a balance between new and old characters,' Gellar teased. 'My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.'

'You Said It's True?' Of Course, Danny DeVito And Charlie Day Had The Funniest Reactions To Rob Mac's Name Change
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. One of TV's longest-running and best sitcoms is set to return to the 2025 TV schedule this week, and I could not be more excited. Season 17 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia will premiere on FXX this Wednesday, July 9th, with back-to-back episodes, but we are in for more than just new shenanigans from The Gang. Alongside this new season, Rob McElhenney will also be debuting his new name, Rob Mac, and his castmates, Danny DeVito and Charlie Day, had the funniest reactions to the news. No, it's not a joke. Rob McElhenney is legally changing his name to Rob Mac. In an announcement posted to Instagram, the It's Always Sunny co-creator explained the reasoning behind his new 'stage' name. However, apparently not everyone got the memo. In a Tik Tok via Decider, Danny Devito shared his confusion live on stage during a recent Hulu press event for the new season: Wait, woah, whoah, whoah. You said it's true?...I swear to god, I looked at the credits and thought they were fucked up. Somebody screwed it up, they took the… This honestly is very similar to how I would expect DeVito's character Frank Reynolds to act, and as it's a typical Sunny cast interaction, Charlie Day had a very Charlie Kelly response, resulting in the following hilarious back and forth: Charlie Day: Wait, Danny, let me tell you a story about my old, old friend here. Spell McElhenney…Spell it. Danny DeVito: I barely got through eighth grade. Charlie Day: OK, alright, see that's why. See this is why I love this cast. I feel like half the time, they aren't even really acting, they're just messing around as a friend group while on camera. At this point, they've all been together for at least 2 decades, given the show just celebrated its 20th anniversary. However, even the Fist Fight actor, who has known McElhenney much longer than that, admitted to still struggling with the spelling, saying: I've known you for 30 years, and the other day I went to go and write your name out in an email, and I was like 'Wait, M, C, E, L..' I wish you went with Blaze, which is what you called yourself in eighth grade. And your teacher called you Blaze for a year. Hulu: 30-Day Free TrialHulu will give you access to originals as well as FX content, which includes It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. For as little as $9.99 per month, you can get ad-supported plans for the service that houses content from ABC, FX and more. View Deal While this is also on brand for Day's Sunny character, who is illiterate, he's one of many many people to have trouble with his friend's former surname over the years. When I first started writing about It's Always Sunny, I remember having to look up the spelling for McElhenney almost every time, so I completely understand the switch. The real question is why he didn't do it sooner. After justifying the Mythic Quest actor's recent decision, Day brought up Mac's former grade school nickname, Blaze. The Lost actor admitted to going by Blaze for an entire year when his 10th-grade teacher asked the class if they had any nicknames. The funniest part? He had actually responded with 'Blade', but failed to correct her when she misheard. Check out the full hilarious interaction below: While Rob Blaze is pretty badass, I think the Wrexham owner made the right call. As to how this affects his kids' and wife's name, Sunny co-star Kaitlin Olson, it doesn't. The celebrity duo told People that they are leaving the decision to keep McElhenney up to each individual person in their family. If you are looking for a change to the High Potential star's name in the credits of Sunny on Wednesday, you won't find it. The Sweet Dee actress, while legally Olson-McElhenney, has always just gone by her maiden name, Olson, when it comes to her TV and movie credits. However, she has been known to occasionally respond to 'Shut up, Bird!' when spotted by fans in public. Be sure to catch (formerly) McElhenney's first official credit as Rob Mac this Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on FXX, or the next day with your Hulu subscription.
