US Animated Series Futurama Launches Season 14 and Simpsons Revives Apu Character

The sci‑fi animated sitcom Futurama is set to return with Season 14 on Hulu, debuting on August 3 2026. Unlike the prior binge‑release model, new episodes will roll out weekly on Mondays. The season will feature the series’ regular cast, including Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, and Billy West.

Separately, The Simpsons announced the return of the Kwik‑E‑Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, a character absent since a 2017 episode. The show has not yet confirmed whether Apu will be recast, but a recent social‑media post highlighted his appearance selling a new “Squishee.” The move follows the series’ broader effort to align voice casting with characters’ ethnic backgrounds.
