FOX didn't order a 5th season:
David X. Cohen, producer of Futurama, gave an interview on cinescape

(it's featured as no1 story right now and mentions us). Here is a bit of what he has to tell:
"Obviously, they are letting us go out of production which means we're going to lose all of our writers and probably all of our animators. In the event which is probably a long shot, but by no means zero chance that they do decide they do want more episodes down the line. A whole new team would have to be put together, which is a big task."
Our words exactly.
Cohen, who developed FUTURAMA with SIMPSONS genius Matt Groening, acknowledged the dire situation.
"It?s not good news. It doesn?t bode well," he conceded. "It?s the old ?on hiatus? thing. Once you?re in that fabled hiatus you don?t come out of it."
And furthermore:
"So write those letters," Cohen asked. "Gail Berman, president of Fox Network. And Sandy Grushow, chairman of Fox Entertainment group. Physical letters are considered more effective than emails."
