As “The Simpsons” approaches its 36th season, Disney+ is giving fans something special to look forward to—four brand-new episodes that will debut exclusively on the streaming platform. This marks a significant shift for the long-running series, as these episodes will bypass the traditional FOX broadcast entirely, catering directly to the show's loyal streaming audience.
The first of these exclusive episodes is a Christmas-themed two-parter titled “O Come All Ye Faithful,” set to premiere on December 17th. This release date is particularly special as it coincides with the 35th anniversary of the iconic show, which first aired on the same day in 1989. Fans can expect all the holiday hilarity and heart that “The Simpsons” is known for, delivered in this festive double feature.
In addition to the Christmas special, two other episodes titled “The Past and the Furious” and “Yellow Planet” are slated to air in the coming months. While details about these episodes remain under wraps, their intriguing titles suggest more of the clever satire and cultural commentary that has kept the series fresh for decades.
Adding to the excitement, a new Halloween-themed short will also premiere exclusively on Disney+, continuing the tradition of the show's beloved “Treehouse of Horror” series but in a condensed format tailored for streaming.
These episodes are more than just another season milestone; they're a nod to the show's enduring legacy and its adaptability in the ever-evolving media landscape. Fans won't have to wait long for more “Simpsons” content either, as the 35th season, which wrapped up in May, will be available on Disney+ starting October 2nd.
With these exclusive episodes, Disney+ is not just streaming “The Simpsons”—they're creating new, unforgettable moments that fans won't want to miss. Whether you're a long-time viewer or new to the series, this is the perfect time to dive into Springfield's endless escapades.
