“The Simpsons” will soon be going into the next round, but that’s not all. After 35 years since the premiere, the makers are daring to do something completely new.
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie – that’s The Simpsons. It’s hard to imagine the international TV landscape without them since 1989. Among other things, the series holds the record for the longest-running primetime animated series. You would think that after 35 years, there would be nothing left to try out again. But that’s not the case because anyone who watches The Simpsons on Disney+ can soon look forward to a special treat.
“The Simpsons” on Disney+ soon with exclusive episodes
The well-known Disney event “D23” recently took place in Anaheim, California. The company usually uses this event to make all kinds of big announcements. And this year, according to a report in the US industry magazine Variety, there was also exciting news about The Simpsons on Disney+.
The 36th season of the series about the cult yellow family will start in the USA in the fall. The makers also want to produce four new episodes exclusively for the in-house streaming service.
Several Simpsons short films have already been released exclusively on the platform. However, the new project marks the first time ever that regular series episodes have been created exclusively for a specific form of exploitation.
These will be the exclusive “Simpsons” episodes on Disney+
The English episode titles and initial information about the content are already known. For example, “O Come All Ye Faithful” will be a two-part Christmas story. It will be available to watch from December 17 – just in time for the series’ 35th anniversary.
The other two episodes are “Yellow Planet” and “The Past and the Furious”. Although there are no plot details for them yet, at least the latter will likely be a parody of the Fast and Furious films starring Vin Diesel. As the superstar has never made a guest appearance in the series, this could be the perfect opportunity for him. There are no specific dates for these two episodes yet, but they are due to be released in the “coming months.”
In addition to the new episodes of The Simpsons on Disney+, another exclusive short film has also been announced. This film will revolve around Halloween and will be released in October.

What’s next for “The Simpsons”?
Incidentally, The Simpsons is not the only animated series from the Disney-owned studio 20th Television Animation that will have exclusive streaming episodes. This plan is also in place for Family Guy, except that it involves the streaming service Hulu.
According to the report, the decision to release new episodes exclusively as a stream raises questions about the future of The Simpsons. As Inside The Magic explains, the TV broadcast of Family Guy, for example, is now set for poor broadcast times. There are alsso indications that the title will only be available as a stream in the long term. It remains to be seen whether Homer, Marge, and co. could suffer the same fate.
