Story
With the ending of Into the Wild Green Yonder, fan speculation remains amiss. While some content has been released on the contents of season 6, only clues have been revealed on the first episode.
At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, David X. Cohen explained that they would continue off the cliffhanger of Into the Wild Green Yonder, and the show would go through a "literal rebirth", but the actual events following the film would first be taken care of in a later episode, while the first episode of the sixth production season would deal with the Fry-Leela relationship in particular.[2]
After the first table reading on 7 August, 2009, Maurice LaMarche commented that the script was "hilarious, & strangely touching", and noted that "[y]ou guys are gonna LOVE this episode in nine or ten months! What a fantastic way to get back into Futurama, The Series!"[3]
Production
- Further information: Season 6#Production
As the first episode of a new run, the production first and foremost focused on continuing from Into the Wild Green Yonder's cliffhanger ending. David X. Cohen explained in an early interview, before the confirmation was even near, that he did consider what to do with the position they ended in, almost daily,[4] which Matt Groening called "painted [themselves] slightly into a corner".[5] While disagreeing on the ease, they were both in agreement that it could and should be resolved in respect with the film.[4][5]
At the San Diego Comic-Con 2009, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen were asked once again about the issue. Matt Groening wanted to ignore it entirely by then, while Cohen stated that they would address it, but only for a single episode.[6]
The first table read for this episode began on 7 August, 2009, according to Maurice LaMarche and Katey Sagal,[7][8] the following week, Maurice LaMarche revealed that the recording session was under way.[9] And as of 20 August, 2009, the recording sessions for this episode have ended, and moved on to the table readings of the next episode.[10]
In a 28 August interview, David X. Cohen revealed that the first episode was tentatively named "Rebirth".[1]
