The production team is currently working on Season 37 of the popular, long-running animated series The Simpsons, and they’re hinting at some significant plans to celebrate Episode 800. Fox has recently renewed the franchise as part of a major agreement with several other adult-themed animated franchises they own. This means that The Simpsons will continue for another four seasons, reaching at least Season 40 by the end of the deal. However, getting to that point involves hitting some major achievements along the way.
So far, “The Simpsons” has broadcasted 790 episodes, reaching the end of Season 36 this year. This upcoming Season 37 will mark their 800th episode, a significant milestone for the series. In the past, “The Simpsons” has commemorated its landmarks in various ways. However, during San Diego Comic-Con 2025 (as reported by Variety), the team hinted at grand plans for Episode 800, which is set to air on Fox sometime in February 2026. Although a specific release date has yet to be disclosed.
The Simpsons Showrunner Teases Episode 800
Matt Selman, the showrunner of The Simpsons, hinted during their panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 that they will air not one but two entirely new episodes for the 800th show. This double premiere on the same night promises to be a significant event, with the second episode potentially linking to the first in some way, as it’s become customary in later seasons. Selman also shared that these episodes will undoubtedly be the finest 800th episode of any series you’ve ever watched.
As an observer, I’ve noticed that the voice behind Lisa Simpson, Yeardley Smith, disclosed earlier this year that the preparations for Episode 800 have been underway, with the production process in full swing. The broadcast date for this significant episode is set for February 2026 on Fox. Therefore, devoted fans of The Simpsons will have to be patient and wait a bit longer before we receive any tantalizing hints about what lies ahead in the upcoming episodes.
What to Know for The Simpsons Season 37
I had the privilege of being part of the audience during the recent panel discussion about Season 37 of The Simpsons. The creators gave us a sneak peek into what we can anticipate next year, and it’s quite exciting! Some notable guest stars joining the show include Kieran Culkin, Glenn Howerton, Albert Brooks, Cole Escola, Danmny Pudi, Adam Pally, and both Brendan and Domhall Gleeson.
Moreover, during the panel, they unveiled a first look at the upcoming Treehouse of Horror special. This year, we can expect appearances from Idris Elba, Michael Keaton, and Viola Davis. Additionally, Stan Kelly is animating a unique opening for this special episode. With or without reaching their 800th episode milestone, The Simpsons seems to be brimming with big plans for the future!
Matt Groening, the creator of “The Simpsons,” stated during a discussion about the series potentially ending, “I initially thought we’d wrap things up at season 36, but there’s no end in sight.” He added, “We plan to continue as long as nobody passes away.” While it’s a reminder that the main cast and creative team can’t go on forever, for now, there seems to be no indication of an imminent conclusion.
