Futurama Renewed for Two More Seasons

24 March 2011 11:38 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Comedy Central has renewed the animated hit Futurama for two more seasons. Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, sources close to the production indicate it's a done deal.

The network issued a 26-episode order, which will spread out over two 13-episode seasons. The tactic is similar to the network's initial deal to bring the show back in June 2009. 13 episodes from that original order have already aired, with the next cycle set to debut in June. This new 26-episode renewal will keep Futurama on the air throughout the year 2013.

The last season of Futurama averaged 2.5 million viewers, which factors in DVR numbers. It is unclear when production will start on this new order of episodes.

Futurama features the voice talents of Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice Lamarche, Phil Lamarr, and Lauren Tom. »

Billy Bob Thornton in Negotiations to Return for Bad Santa 2

20 March 2011 1:07 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Billy Bob Thornton is officially in talks to reprise his role in Bad Santa 2 for The Weinstein Company.

In December, The Weinstein Company hit a deal with Disney-owned Miramax for sequels to a number of major catalog titles including Bridget Jones’s Diary, Copland, From Dusk Till Dawn, Swingers, Clerks, Shall We Dance, The Amityville Horror, Rounders, Shakespeare In Love and of course, Bad Santa.

Thornton made mention of deal at a panel for his SXSW closer, the Willie Nelson documentary The King of Luck but there are still plenty of details to be worked out.

(By the way, The King of Luck, a new documentary about Willie Nelson, received its world premiere last night (March 19) at the South by Southwest festival in Austin Texas — Billy Bob Thornton was a close friend of country music legend Nelson and he made it himself.)

A Weinstein Company spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap: »
