Comedy Central has decided not to renew “Futurama,” meaning the show will end its 140-episode run on September 4, 2013. The final 13 episodes, which represent the second half of season seven, begin airing on June 19th at 10 pm.

The series originally aired aired from 1999 to 2003 before Fox cancelled the series for the first time. After thriving in reruns on Adult Swim, “Futurama” was relaunched in 2007 with four-direct-to-DVD movies that Comedy Central ran in half-hour increments as a 16-episode fifth season in 2008-09. Comedy Central subsequently ordered a sixth season of 26 episodes, which aired in 2010-11, and a seventh season of 26 episodes, the first half of which debuted in 2012.

The producers say that they are exploring options for a new home for the show, but there are no serious talks at this point.

“We’ve been in this situation before, and it’s tempting when you’re doing episodes that are as good or better than anything you’ve ever done to continue doing it,” series creator Matt Groening says. “We’re catching our breath and seeing what the fans have to say. The experience of this show has been so much fun from the very beginning to now — everybody is so happy to work on this show — that it’d be a shame if we all went our separate ways… We would love to continue. We have many more stories to tell. But if we don’t, this is a really great way to go out… I think these episodes are the best ones we’ve ever done.” (via EW)
