‘Futurama’ Season 11 Episode 8 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch as the Planet Express Dives Into Deep Water

Futurama fans have barely dried off from Bender’s swashbuckling misadventures, and now the countdown is already on for the next chapter. The long running animated favorite continues its weekly rollout on Hulu, and episode 8 is promising a change of scenery that trades outer space for open water.

‘Futurama’ has spent this season proving that after more than two decades on the air, the Planet Express crew still has plenty of fuel left in the tank. With the tenth episode of season 11 not far behind, viewers are eager to know exactly when and how they can catch the newest installment.

‘Futurama’ Season 11 Episode 8 Release Date and Time

The eighth episode of the current season, titled ‘Oceans Three,’ is set to air on September 14, 2026. This date comes directly from the official episode guide tracking the season’s weekly rollout, which lists the episode alongside its air date and title.

The synopsis for the episode is refreshingly simple. The Planet Express crew sets off on a treacherous ocean adventure, a plot description confirmed across multiple official episode listings. Given ‘Futurama’ history of turning even the most mundane premise into something wildly chaotic, fans are bracing for anything from sea monsters to underwater bureaucracy.

New episodes have consistently dropped on Mondays throughout the season, and episode 8 continues that pattern. Anyone keeping a weekly watch party going should expect ‘Oceans Three’ to land right on schedule alongside the rest of the season’s steady release cadence.

Where to Watch ‘Futurama’ Season 11?

‘Futurama’ season 11 lives exclusively on Hulu in the United States. The season premiered on Hulu, along with Hulu on Disney Plus, on August 3, 2026. That international pairing means subscribers outside the US have generally been able to catch new episodes the same day through Disney branded platforms.

The revival era of ‘Futurama’ has stuck with Hulu as its home base since the show’s return, and season 11 is no exception. Viewers hoping to binge from the beginning before episode 8 drops can still find the first seven episodes streaming there in order.

Given how much of the season’s humor builds on running jokes and long simmering storylines, jumping in without the earlier episodes could leave new viewers a little lost. Starting from ‘Beef’ and working forward is the easiest way to catch up before the ocean voyage begins.

‘Futurama’ Season 11 Cast and Voice Talent

The heart of ‘Futurama’ has always been its voice cast, and season 11 keeps the band fully intact. The full original cast and satirical spirit of the show remain intact after the brief hiatus that preceded this stretch of new episodes.

Billy West continues his marathon voice work, handling Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Zoidberg, and Zapp Brannigan across the season. Katey Sagal returns as Leela, John DiMaggio voices Bender, and the supporting bench of Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, and Lauren Tom rounds out the ensemble that has anchored the series since its earliest days.

That continuity matters more than it might seem. Part of what has made this Hulu era of ‘Futurama’ feel like a genuine continuation rather than a soft reboot is that none of the major voices have changed, letting longtime fans slip right back into the world without any jarring adjustments.

What to Expect from the Rest of Season 11?

Beyond the ocean themed episode 8, the back half of season 11 has been teased as a wild ride. The season promises a non stop onslaught of swaggering space pirates, lab grown meats, and sexy scams, along with the shocking return of Dr. Zoidberg’s lost love.

That Zoidberg storyline in particular has fans buzzing since the character’s romantic history has rarely been explored with this much focus. Combined with the pirate heavy early episodes, the season has leaned into adventure plots more than some of its predecessors.

Looking further ahead, ‘Futurama’ has already secured its future beyond this current season. The show has been renewed for a further twelfth production season consisting of three extended length specials set to release in 2027. That means even after ‘Oceans Three’ and the remaining episodes wrap up, there is more Planet Express chaos already locked in for fans to look forward to.

For a series that was supposedly finished more than once, ‘Futurama’ keeps finding new water to tread, quite literally this time around with the crew’s upcoming ocean voyage. With ‘Oceans Three’ just around the corner, what kind of nautical nonsense are you hoping Bender and the gang stumble into this time.
