Simpsons Renewed for 4 More Seasons, Set to Break Records!

by

I’ve just witnessed the fantastic news that The Simpsons has been granted an extensive renewal for more episodes, making it one of the longest-running animated series ever created. At nearly 35 years in the game, The Simpsons has already surpassed numerous conventional broadcast milestones within the United States. Not only did it outrun Bonanza as the longest-running U.S. television show, but at this point, it’s engaged in a unique rivalry with itself – consistently setting new records and redefining its own accomplishments year after year.

The popular animated series “The Simpsons,” along with other Fox hits like “Family Guy,” “Bob’s Burgers,” and “American Dad!”, are all set to continue their run for an impressive four more seasons. As Season 36 of “The Simpsons” is slated for this Spring, this renewal will take the show up to Season 40 when the current deal expires. While it’s not certain if the series will end there, what is assured is that by reaching Season 40, “The Simpsons” will secure its position as a significant part of global animation history.

They’ll Never Stop The Simpsons

Reflecting on one of the iconic jokes from “The Simpsons,” it was presented in Season 13’s episode titled “Gump Roast.” This particular episode isn’t particularly notable as it was essentially a compilation of all the funny things Homer Simpson had done throughout the series. However, what truly caught viewers’ attention was the final song that played during the closing credits. Titled “They’ll Never Stop The Simpsons,” the song humorously suggested that the show would continue indefinitely and that there were plenty of ideas for future episodes. Interestingly, some of those ideas eventually materialized into full-fledged episodes in subsequent years.

In one of the final scenes, an image was shown depicting Homer performing the shark jump, a nod to Fonzie from “Happy Days” doing the same. This scene is often mentioned by fans as a symbol of when the original essence of the show had faded away, and this has been a topic among “The Simpsons” viewers since before Season 13. Now with over 20 seasons under its belt, this moment is a significant part of The Simpsons’ history that belongs to an earlier phase in its timeline. The current version of the show differs significantly from that early era.

What Does This Mean for The Simpsons?

With each passing day, “The Simpsons” inches closer to its 800th episode, yet it’s still not the longest-running animated series globally. There are numerous shows worldwide that have aired far more episodes, and some anime series have even surpassed the thousands. It’s highly unlikely that “The Simpsons” will match these milestones, but it remains the U.S.’s longest-running show still in production. This unique series seems destined for a prolonged stay on our screens.

However, contrary to what viewers see on screen, there are significant changes happening off camera. With one of the original voice actors retiring during Season 36, we can expect further shifts behind the scenes as the series progresses towards Season 40. It’s challenging to predict who will stay, but dedicated fans should brace themselves for more such transformations in the show. This is an inevitable part of the show reaching its 40th season, especially in the years ahead.
