Two days ago, we found out that Homer Simpson and the rest of Springfield will be featured in an episode of "Family Guy".

And today, fans of Matt Groening’s animated comedies were given some big news: "The Simpsons" will host a different crossover installment, and it involves… "Futurama".



"Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean announced at the show’s Comic-Con panel on Saturday that the two shows will join forces for an episode that will be recorded next month. It is slated to air on Fox as either the season 25 finale in May 2014 or as the season 26 premiere in fall 2014.

Comedy Central is currently airing the seventh and final season of "Futurama". The series finale airs in September.

"The Simpsons" / "Futurama" Crossover To Air in November

The "Futurama" crossover installment on "The Simpsons" has been slated to air Nov. 9.

Cast members from the cancelled 31st-century comedy reprising their roles include Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Maurice LaMarche, and Tress MacNeille (who also is part of The Simpsons voice cast).

In 'Simpsorama', Bender travels back in time to kill Bart because Bart does something in the present that has terrible consequences for the future.



Of course, "The Simpsons" is involved in another crossover episode this fall.

The Simpson family will pop up on "Family Guy" in that show’s season premiere.

Good—no, great—news, everyone: Springfield will be the site of another crossover episode besides the invasion of the Griffins from "Family Guy" when the Simpsons encounter a familiar pack of now-homeless space adventurers.

"Futurama", the 31st-century animated comedy that was canceled (again) last year, will return to life—or at least Fry, Leela & Co. will—in a special episode of "The Simpsons" airing Nov. 9.





“That was a really tough one to negotiate, because I had to talk to myself,” says Matt Groening, creator of, well, both shows.

“Simpsorama” is taglined in the opening credits as “a show out of ideas teams up with a show out of episodes,” and the second half of that joke is one reason for this installment.



“They were going off the air, so I thought people would really love it if we had one more chance to see those characters,” says "Simpsons" exec producer Al Jean.

He added, “We’re always looking for things that are compatible with us, and I thought, ‘Well, what’s more compatible?’ We do a joke, actually, about how similar Bender and Homer look. Like, they just erased Homer’s hair.”





The crossover — which features "Futurama" voicecast members Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, Tress MacNeille, and Maurice LaMarche — will unspool a complex, Terminator-esque story that involves Bart blowing his nose on a sandwich that he places in a time capsule.

When that mixes with Milhouse’s rabbit’s foot and some radioactive ooze, it creates a global catastrophe in the future, prompting Bender to travel back in time to kill Bart and prevent this mega-mess.



And as you’d imagine, 'Simpsorama' teems with "Futurama" inside jokes and a Simpsonized tweak of its title sequence.

Adds Jean: “There’s a thing in Futurama code where if you solve it, it says, ‘Congratulations! You’re a nerd.’”
