And here.

I note a distinct lack of "and all cast members are returning"! from the articles. (Let alone "all the best writers!"). That seems a bit troublesome.

Well they all came back for the movies; lets hope. George in Las Vegas

More good news, everyone. Billy West, John DiMaggio and Katey Sagal are all on board. Better yet, they say the new series will differ from the movies in that Bender will be back to saying mean and funny things.

There will be some belt tightening, in the form of fewer writers.

I'd also like to thank everyone who bought the DVDs (pats self on back) instead of just downloading them. DVD sales are the reason Futurama is back.

I am hopeful that these 26 new episodes are just the beginning of a long and great run.

Billy West has stated he is going to be back and will be attending the 2009 San Diego Comic Con.

I'm sure that John DiMaggio will be back.

Katey Sagal has stated many times she loves the Leela character, I'm sure Matt Groening will bust a gut to get her back.

As for the writers, I don't know. Also, will the orchestra be cut (as it was for the movies)?

Still, as long as they don't overuse the RESET BUTTON, the revival should be interesting.
