As Bender’s Big Score gets set to air in four installments on Comedy Central later this month, Fox Home Entertainment ahs announced that the next adventure in the series of Futurama DVD movies will be available at retail this summer. The Fate of human and robot-kind is at stake when Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs debuts at retail on June 24.

In what Fox is calling the most tentacle-packed Futurama epic, space itself rips open, revealing a gateway to another universe. What lies beyond is a mix of horror and love as the Planet Express crew encounters a repulsive, planet-sized monster with romantic intentions.

The second feature-length Futurama film will be followed by at least two more movies from series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. The show’s entire voice cast and most of its main writers have returned to help revive the series, which FOX cancelled in 2003. Groening, who also created The Simpsons, has told us that Futurama is the animated show he’s most proud of. Those who haven’t picked up Bender’s Big Score on DVD yet can catch it on Comedy Central on March 23 at 8 p.m.

I loooved Bender's Big Score. So nice to see something new from Futurama from a respected network. Fox treated it like garbage so I'm glad the new movies are airing on a new network. :) The next three movies (which will hopefully air on Comedy Central) are going to be great. In addition to The Beast with a Billion Backs we also have Bender's Game and Into The Wild Green Yonder to look forward to. :)

I hope its better than BBS, because that was depressing.

I liked benders big score this should be good.
