Syfy is venturing into animation, acquiring the cult Matt Groening series "Futurama" from Twentieth Television. It marks the first fully animated series in Syfy’s lineup.

Under the multi-year non-exclusive deal, Syfy will have access to all 140 HD episodes of the series, which will debut in a special weekend stunt beginning Saturday, November 11. It will continue airing regularly in primetime on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8PM-2AM ET and on Saturday mornings from 8-11AM ET.

"We’re continuing to invest heavily to give our passionate fans the very best in genre programming, and I can think of no better addition to Syfy’s lineup than one of my personal favorites, Futurama," said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks (USA and Syfy) for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.
