Springfield’s sticking round for a little bit longer, as Fox has renewed The Simpsons extra seasons.
Revealed earlier within the week, Matt Groening’s animated sequence was granted a two-season order that’ll run by way of 2025. In case you haven’t been conserving observe, this’ll make seasons 35 and 36 for the sequence; an episode rely wasn’t given, however almost each earlier season has had 22 episodes a chunk. As of this previous New Yr’s, the present has aired 740 episodes, and season 34 will return on February 19 to finish its run.
Fox additionally granted two-season renewals to fellow long-running sequence Household Man (seasons 22 and 23) and Bob’s Burgers (14 and 15). Like Simpsons, their episode counts are fairly spectacular: Household hit 400 episodes earlier within the month, and Bob’s will hit episode 250 when it returns from vacation break. It’s been awhile since I’ve saved with any of the three reveals, nevertheless it feels like all of them have been good with their present seasons, notably Household Man. Fox’s scripted TV president Michael Thorn appears to agree; in a press launch, he stated the renewals “proves the enduring energy of the animation style on our community and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously humorous comedy classics.”
In fact, it additionally helps {that a}ll three reveals have been extraordinarily worthwhile for Fox and Disney’s two streaming companies, Disney+ and Hulu. Due to their success, Fox has managed to launch different animated sequence like The Nice North and incoming sequence Grimsburg starring Jon Hamm and Krapopolis from Rick & Morty co-creator Dan Harmon. Chances are high Fox will hold its long-running reveals round till their creators lastly determine to name it quits or stroll away…then once more, provided that The Simpsons has been on so lengthy that it’s the longest-running primetime sequence in historical past, that will not be the case.
