Futurama season 8 release schedule: When will episode 9 be on Disney Plus?
When will Fry, Leela and Bender's adventures continue?
Fry, Leela and Bender have been back on our screens for a while now, and already it feels like they never really left.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s sci-fi series is almost halfway through its new season, which marks yet another reboot for the animated hit.
This one comes a decade after the show's most recent cancellation, and has been warmly received by fans.
Now, viewers are waiting for the new season's ninth episode to be released, with the latest instalment being called The Prince and the Product.
