Get ready for more of The Simpsons. At D23, it was announced that four special episodes of the FOX series would be released exclusively to Disney+, starting with a special pair of Christmas episodes in December. Two more episodes will be released later. While Simpsons shorts have debuted on Disney+ in the past, these are the first full-length episodes produced exclusively for the streamer.
Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer star in the FOX animated series, which follows Homer and his family as they live in Springfield.
TV Line revealed the following about the episodes:
The Disney+ exclusives include a Christmas-themed double episode titled “O C’mon All Ye Faithful” and premiering Tuesday, Dec. 17 (pegged to the 35th anniversary of the animated series’ original Christmas special), plus episodes titled “The Past and the Furious” and “Yellow Planet” (to debut “in the months ahead”).
It was also announced that in October, Disney+ will be home to an exclusive new Halloween-themed short from The Simpsons.
The Simpsons returns with its 36th season on FOX on September 29th. Release dates for the two other special episodes will be released later.
