In doing so, the show is opening up a massive well of potential storylines.
However, it’s important that the series retain the strong emotional focus that’s always separatedFuturamafrom its peers.
Here is howFuturamaseason 12 ends and how it could lead to a radically different season 13.
Did Futurama Season 12 Kill Off Fry & Leela?
“Otherwise” introduces a tear in the multiverse across all realities.
“Non-canon anthology episodes ofFuturamaplayed with the characters in different tones and styles.

However,Futuramawas still driven by its own tighter character continuity.
They phase in and out of other planes of existence, transforming them into an apparent ghost ship.
“Otherwise” frequently references “Meanwhile,” with Fry’s visions being from that episode.
Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.
In the season 10 finale, Fry and Leela grew old together in a single moment after time froze.
They ultimately let that life end so Professor Farnsworth could restore everything.
In essence, that version of Fry and Leela died to save the world, and they died happy.
Similarly, a modern-day Fry and Leela can face certain sudden death and still choose to embrace one another.
There’s a chance though thatFuturamacould shifts things back to the status quo, however.
It could be similar to how season 7’s “Rebirth” immediately resolved season 6’s open-ended finale.
