Comedy Central has officially confirmed last week's reports that the resurrected animated favorite "Futurama" will be back for two new seasons starting in 2012.

The renewal is for 26 new episodes, officially categorized as Season 7-A and 7-B. We're sure there's a perfectly good contractual reason why things are being categorized in this manner.

"We're very grateful to Comedy Central and Twentieth Television for this show of support," state series creator Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. "Our entire staff will celebrate tonight by going out and getting even drunker."

What the renewal means for fans is that there will be new episodes of "Futurama" premiering each of the next three summers. The 13-episode Season 6-B will premiere this summer on Thursday, June 23 at 10 p.m. The 7-A season will premiere in the summer of 2012 and the 7-B season will premiere in the summer of 2013.
