Futurama season 8
season of television series
The eighth season of Futurama consisted of ten episodes. It premiered on Hulu in the United States on July 24, 2023. Although the seventh season was intended to be the final season, having concluded in September 2013 on their previous network Comedy Central, Hulu greenlit an eighth season in February 2022. All of the main voice cast returned, including John DiMaggio after he spent a month in negotiations to sign a new deal with Disney, which assumed the rights to the series, following their acquisition of 21st Century Fox in March 2019.
This season has alternatively been titled the eighth season (production), and the eleventh season (broadcast). This list follows the previous season box sets, which feature the episodes in the original, intended production season order, ignoring the order of broadcast.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Futurama season 8” is season of television series. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Futurama, season and television, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “season of television series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19952549. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2023, 2013, 2022 and 2019.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
