Collider brings the welcome news, if we dare believe it, that Matt Groenig's Futurama has finally been recommissioned by Comedy Central for 13 episodes.

The show, a very loose Buck Rogers-style tale of a pizza-boy who wakes up in the 30th century, was cancelled in 2003 after a four-year run, though a huge series of fan protests brought DVD specials in the last few years. These seem to have done the trick.

This is just a rumour, but Collider have a good track record on such things, and frankly I just want it to be true.

More Futurama news is expected at next month's Comicon.
