They would probably air on Comedy Central. It was cited as the largest and most expensive acquisition in the network's history. So I really do not think that they would spend all of that money and not produce new episodes.

The cost of Futurama is $400,000 per episode for Comedy Central's rights to rebroadcast old episodes.
I think the contract of the new movies was $13 million for the whole set of 4. More like $812,500 for each 22-minute episode but I think Fox Home Entertainment shelled out for that and they resell them to CC. The $3.25M cost per movie is easily paid for in the first week of retail sale.
It would be hard to see how Fox could pass up another chance to make such a large amount of easy money just on DVD sales alone.

With the 4th and Final DVD getting ready to be released soon. I was wondering what is next for our Friends Fry Leela , Bender and the rest of the Planet Express Crew. Maybe a 7th Season of Futurama is in the works.
Does not compute...

i dont want them to hit the reset button, but i dont want fry and leela dating, because that COULD ruin the show
Exercise for the reader: What happens when - Fry forgets Leela's birthday/Valentine's Day/etc? - Leela catches Fry at a strip club or saucy puppet show? - Fry disappoints Leela in bed, or vice-versa? - Fry and Leela conceive a child who is visibly mutated? There's plenty of material to be mined out of a committed relationship between Fry and Leela -- some of it typical sitcom material with a Futurama twist, some of it unique to Futurama.

Well, to be honest, It's boring having to watch Fry being turned down or dumped. Not to say it wasn't funny.
Agreed. "Dumb, ordinary Joe longs for unattainable woman" is about as common a theme as there is in entertainment, and the series may have milked as much material as it can out of it. I certainly wouldn't expect a stable relationship between Fry and Leela to be a major emphasis for more than a couple episodes a season, but I think it'd be a failure of imagination to declare that there isn't Futurama-class comedy/character development potential there.

Yeah, and if they suddenly dumped the relationship then that would be like BWABB all over again.

I liked that one, but that was a main flaw. Or as the rest of you say, one of many flaws. freddo, you are correct, but from what I remember I think he said it could be coming back in any form. It's all the wait of the futur-AMOUR!- I mean, -AMA!
