I can see this working if the show is capable of containing these things to a few jokes here and there, and keeps the socially-tied aspects subtle and more on the surface. If they dive too deep, it won’t feel like a Futurama episode.
The problem with these topics is that they’re all very politically and socially charged. The internet episode was great because they could easily make a ton of jokes about ads, porn, chat rooms, etc. and keep it light. I can’t see the same being done with something like COVID, but it could be funny with NFTs and crypto, as long as they don’t go too deep and end up pulling you out of the humor.

I still need to watch the trailer.
