‘The Simpsons’ Are Moving To Disney+, With The First 30 Seasons Available On Day One

Meet the new streaming home of The Simpsons: Disney+. Up until now, the series was streaming on the FXX Simpsons streaming app, with new episodes on Hulu. Now, Disney+ will be the exclusive streaming home of the series. The first 30 seasons available on day one to stream. This is obviously a huge deal to Simpsons fans, as it will package the show with all the other Disney+ original content.
The news was unveiled with an amusing video featuring Springfield’s most infamous family, flanked by a statue of Disney CEO Bob Iger and a statue of Darth Vader (a photograph of Rupert Murdoch can be seen in the garbage can nearby). It’s deeply odd to see Home Simpson wearing a Mickey Mouse hat – and even stranger to see him crushed by Dumbo.
Whether or not the show will continue with original episodes for very long is another question, as there were rumors that Disney might finally bring the long-running series to an end. For now, though, the show lingers on. Later seasons may not be as memorable, but the first 10 or so seasons remain all-time classics. And now they’re heading to Disney+. Get ready to sign up.
