A question asked frequently by "Futurama" fans at Comic-Con and other conventions is: Will Zoidberg ever find love? Turns out, that very question will be explored in an upcoming episode.
EW has learned that the disgusting decapodian will make a romantic connection with… wait for it… it’s pretty shocking… oh, right, you already read the headline… "Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke!
Instead of playing a determined dragon queen, though, Clarke is guest starring on the animated 31st-century-set comedy as a flower stand owner who, ironically enough, was born with no sense of smell.
“She falls in love with Dr. Zoidberg — the smelliest character on Earth in the future — but she can’t smell him, so it’s a match made in heaven,” explains series executive producer David X. Cohen.
“However, being a doctor, he has the opportunity to perform a nose transplant and give her a sense of smell, which would destroy their romance, so it’s a big dilemma.”
Clarke’s episode is slated to air as the second-to-last episode of the series.
