When does The Simpsons season 35 air in the UK?

As a long-time aficionado of animated humor and a devoted fan of The Simpsons, I must say that the anticipation for each new season is always palpable. With the 36th season currently airing in the US, the wait for us UK fans can feel like an eternity. Yet, based on previous patterns, we might not have to endure much more suffering before the episodes grace our screens.


In a continuing tradition, America’s longest-standing animated comedy series, The Simpsons, has moved forward into its 36th season. Each week, fresh episodes are broadcast on Fox.

In my opinion, I’m thrilled to share that the previous season, season 35, has made its way across the ocean and is now streaming on Disney Plus! Unfortunately, folks in the UK are still eagerly awaiting these episodes to grace their screens.

When does season 35 start streaming on Disney+ in the UK, could you provide the release schedule for season 36 in the U.S., and approximately when will those episodes become available for viewers in the UK as well?

Read on for everything you need to know about the release date for The Simpsons season 35.

When will The Simpsons season 35 be released?

As of now, we’re uncertain about the exact release date for The Simpsons season 35 in the UK, but considering past patterns, it’s likely that fans won’t have to endure a long wait.

The show has consistently aired annually in the U.S., and since Disney Plus debuted, new seasons have become available towards the end of each year. For instance, Season 34 began streaming in the UK on November 1st, 2023, while Season 33 started streaming on October 5th, 2022.

It’s reasonable to anticipate hearing about the launch date for season 35 in approximately a month from now, with October or November 2024 being the likely months. We’ll make sure to update this page as soon as we receive more information.

The season is made up of 18 episodes.

The Simpsons season 36 US release schedule

For quite some time, new episodes of The Simpsons have been airing weekly on Fox in the U.S., but there may be occasional pauses during their broadcast schedule, such as around the Christmas season.

The television series began airing on the 29th of September, with the second episode titled “The Yellow Lotus” set to premiere on the 6th of October.

Here is the release schedule so far:

  1. Bart’s Birthday – 29th September 2024
  2. The Yellow Lotus – 6th October 2024

For the upcoming year, it’s expected that there will be four unique episodes exclusively available on Disney Plus. Among these, one special double episode, titled “O C’mon All Ye Faithful,” is scheduled for release on December 17th, 2024, and has a festive Christmas theme.

The other two episodes will be titled The Past and the Furious and Yellow Planet.

It remains uncertain if these episodes will air simultaneously in the UK as they do in the U.S., or if they’ll be released concurrently with Season 36 once it becomes available here.

Will The Simpsons season 36 stream on Disney Plus in the UK?

Indeed, Season 36 is anticipated to air on Disney Plus; however, we’ll have to exercise some patience as its release date is yet to come and there’s still a considerable waiting period ahead.

Based on when streaming service releases season 35 in the UK, it’s likely that season 36 will follow approximately one year later, given that the US has completed its airing of all episodes.

This means fans in the UK can likely expect season 36 to stream in late 2025.
