As Season 11 of "Futurama" kicks off with the episode "The Impossible Stream," time is still frozen from the events of the Season 10 finale. Professor Farnsworth informs in voiceover, "Time has been frozen for an unknown length of time." We see him arriving during the events of "Meanwhile" to rescue Fry and Leela.
From there, it is revealed that the time freeze caused a time skip, which sets the show back on its proper timeline. "Futurama" has always been set 1,000 years in the future, beginning when Fry accidentally enters a cryogenic chamber on New Year's Eve 2000 and wakes up in the year 3000. After fixing the time freeze, Fry and friends find they've lost a decade of time — the length between Seasons 10 and 11 in real life — and are now in the year 3023.
From there, the Planet Express is off to new adventures on a new streaming platform. The new timeline doesn't affect the show's tenor, which hasn't skipped a beat in the decade "Futurama" has been off the air.
