‘The Simpsons’ Renewed For Two More Seasons

Maybe The Simpsons will simply by no means finish?

It’s not slowing down anytime quickly, anyway. Fox introduced right now that that they had renewed the longest-running scripted primetime collection in historical past for 2 further seasons. That will deliver the present to its thirty sixth season on the air, which is able to be within the fall of 2024 by way of the spring of 2025. At the identical time, Fox additionally renewed its different long-running (although not that long-running) animated sitcoms, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers.

Here was Fox president Michael Thorn’s touch upon the information:

With this trio of renewals, we rejoice excellence in animation on Fox, our great, long-time partnership with twentieth Television and the sensible creators and unbelievable voices behind these perpetually favorites. Three-plus a long time of ‘The Simpsons,’ greater than 20 years of ‘Family Guy’ and over a decade of ‘Bob’s Burgers’ proves the enduring energy of the animation style on our community and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously humorous comedy classics.

To put The Simpsons renewal into perspective: When the present first debuted the primary George Bush was President of the United States. Seinfeld debuted that very same yr, after which ended its run on TV 9 years later … which was in 1998, 25 years in the past. And The Simpsons has been producing new episodes each single yr since then. (Yes, this yr is the twenty fifth anniversary of The Simpsons’ ninth season, which included such traditional gags because the Canyonero.)

And but in any case that point Bart Simpson continues to be within the fourth grade. Man The Simpsons makes me really feel previous.

New episodes of The Simpsons proceed to air — as they’ve for greater than 30 years now — on Sunday nights at 8PM ET on Fox.
