Telly’s Take

Will FOX cancel or renew The Simpsons for season 31? I highly doubt that it will be cancelled at this point. Despite being the oldest scripted series on TV, the ratings are still very good for a FOX show and the series also makes a lot of money for the studio in syndication. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free The Simpsons cancellation and renewal alerts.
