Despite being canceled by Comedy Central prior to its elongated Season 7, fans will forever be clamoring for more adventures with the Planet Express crew. The Simpsons and Futurama crossover episode was warmly welcomed, and only whetted fan appetites further. Of course, whether the crew returns to our TV screens or not will entirely depend on networks, unless it becomes a video game.

While a platforming Futurama game back in 2003 didn’t go over well, perhaps the adventure was simply in the wrong format. Much like Rick and Morty, Futurama’s adventures are sporadic and see them often tackling entirely different scenarios each episode. However, Futurama’s cast of characters lend themselves a little better to Telltale’s decision-based formula, thanks to their greater emotional depth.

A Futurama Telltale series would be filled with the franchise’s humor, differing sides to the same story (much like Rhys and Fiona in Tales from the Borderlands), and all be wrapped up in an epic adventure against, say, Mom’s friendly robot company. It may not be the return that every fan wants right now, but it’d certainly ease the pain.
