Futurama has played with the apocalypse on multiple occasions. Thanks to its distant future setting, the show has hinted at multiple ways humanity could collapse and rebuild itself. The latest hint at this cyclical existence goes a step further and quietly cements another show as part of Futurama’s lore.”I Know What You Did Next XMas” — Written by Ariel Ladensohn and Directed by Crystal Chesney-Thompson — features a clever reference to one of Matt Groening’s other animated properties, Netflix’s Disenchantment. Notably, this direct reference suggests that the fantasy comedy is actually set in the distant future of Futurama’s world. On top of seemingly confirming the shared universe between the two shows, it follows up a reoccurring element of Futurama’s timeline.”I Know What You Did Next XMas” focuses largely on the Planet Express Crew and their efforts to finally counter the villainous Robot Santa. The villainous figure has been a part of the show since Season 2, a homicidal take on the classic Christmas icon. Hoping to undo the programming error that resulted in Robot Santa targeting the entire universe for being “naughty,” Prof. Farnsworth busts out the time machine that was introduced in Season 6’s “The Late Phillip J. Fry” (Directed by Peter Avanzino and Written by Lewis Morton). Using the device, Farnsworth travels back in time to the early years of Robot Santa, and attempts to change its settings — inadvertently turning it evil in the first place. However, his attempt to return to the present — i.e., the year 3023 — results in him going too far. This leads Farnsworth to repeat the process he went through in the Season 6 episode, which revealed that the universe of Futurama is cyclical in nature, with the Big Crunch that ends the universe setting off another Big Bang.RELATED: Hulu’s Futurama Features Final Rap and Special Tribute for CoolioRELATED: Futurama’s Amazon Prime Parody Highlights the Best & Worst of the Sci-Fi Comedy
