Christmas has come early in August for Futurama.

With its new season eleven already underway, the upcoming episode 6 is titled, “I Know What You Did Next Xmas,” which features an evil robot Santa. It is all up to Bender and Zoidberg to go back in time to stop the present Santa from causing havoc.

Here is the summary of the episode:

Xmas season is coming up, so once again, evil Robot Santa will be delivering his annual attack. We see an animated TV holiday special, that reminds us how Robot Santa’s programming failed on his very first delivery, back in 2801, and ever since then he’s been mistakenly judging everyone to be “NAUGHTY.”

The Professor decides to end this travesty once and for all! Santa cannot be attacked except through TIME. So the Professor reveals he has restored his old time machine (from classic episode 6.07 titled The Late Philip J. Fry).

His plan is to go back in time to 2801 and reverse Santa’s naughty sensor so it will function correctly. It’s a nerve-wracking assault, but…he succeeds! It will be the first happy Xmas in centuries!

In honor of the occasion, the whole Planet Express crew takes Xmas week off, and everyone goes to spend time with their families. In the general excitement, Bender and Zoidberg are left behind, having no families to go home to. They are lonely and bitter.

Their bitterness leads to drinking (“dumpster nog”), and they soon become drunk and end up bonding for the first time in series history. Then they get angry. If they can’t have a nice Xmas, they will ruin it for everyone else! They decide to kidnap Santa.

Meanwhile there’s a whole new pandemic in town as the crew explores the future of vaccines, bitcoin, cancel culture, and streaming TV.
