Last week, Futurama fans got the surprise of a lifetime, as it was revealed that Hulu ordered 20 new episodes for the series after nearly a decade of the show going off-air.

Until recently, there wasn’t an exact reason as to why the beloved Futurama voice actor was still in the process of negotiations, but that changed over the past week. In a statement posted to Twitter, DiMaggio had the following to say regarding the reason he isn’t currently returning as Bender in the Futurama revival:
