Futurama vol 3-is this the last one?


I remember reading that there were only three actual production seasons of Futurama, which would make the just-released volume 3 the last one. Is this correct, or will there be a volume 4 on the way?

Futurama was a very difficult show to figure out production/season wise. I couldn't tell you. I hope there is more, but I just don't know.

There are enough episodes left for one more Volume, then that is it. (Unless the show is brought back)

There will definitely be a fourth and final Volume of "Futurama," hopefully by the end of the year. I can't wait for my favorite episode, "Where No Fan Has Gone Before."

There were four production seasons, not three. The next set (which, if it follows the same release pattern as the other three sets, should be out by late summer/ early fall) will be the last season, which consisted of 18 episodes.

Is that the Star Trek TOS themed cancellation episode? I thought that one was a classic!

If Fox was smart, they'd pull a Family Guy on Futurama, but you'd think we'd have heard about it by now if they'd consider.

I'd love to see a Futurama Feature Film.

I have yet to start collecting this series... but is on my wish list... I am hoping to have atleast the first season within the next copuple purchases.

Now... these are season sets right? I was a bit concerned since they put these out calling them Volumes. Atleast I am hoping these are in season sets... shown in order as they aired. but either way it is only a matter of time before I get them! There is many I have never seen... I only caught the first 2 seasons on TV when it aired.

Yes, as others have said, there will be one more Volume of "Futurama" released. There are 72 episodes total.
  • Volume 1: 13 episodes
  • Volume 2: 19 episodes
  • Volume 3: 22 episodes
  • Volume 4: 18 episodes

Total: 72 episodes

Volume 1 was released on March 25, 2003. Volume 2 was released on August 12, 2003 and, of course, Volume 3 was released on March 9, 2004. That's a 4 and a half month gap between Volumes 1 and 2 and a 7 month gap between Volumes 2 and 3. I'd say a good guess for Volume 4 would be late July to mid October.

Ok, that makes sense. I thought that there were more episodes...

Oh, and the reason they're referred to as "volumes" as opposed to seasons is that the DVDs represent the production seasons of the show, and not the airing seasons (which were REALLY erratic thanks to some creative...and bad... scheduling from Fox).
