The Futurama looks bright for Danny Trejo…
The 80-year-old Mexican American actor and Machete star will guest star on the upcoming season of Futurama, which premieres on Monday, July 29 on Hulu.
But he’s not the only Hispanic guest star this season.
Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz will also lend her voice to the series.
Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and the Futurama cast revealed the guest stars of the upcoming season during the show’s 2024 San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Following Hulu’s 2023 revival of Futurama, the sci-fi series from Groening and Cohen returns with 10 new episodes.
On this orbit, the occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender’s ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags, and the true five-million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela’s fateful, time-twisted romance.
The series features the voices of John DiMaggio, Billy West, Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamar, and David Herman.
Created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and Cohen, with executive producers Groening, Cohen, Ken Keeler and Claudia Katz.
