Fans don’t have to worry that The Simpsons will be cancelled anytime too soon. Above and beyond (and okay, because of) its strong Nielsen ratings, FOX renewed its top scripted comedy series through season 30, back in November of 2016. Could that be the end of this long-running TV series? Will The Simpsons be cancelled or renewed beyond its 30th season? Stay tuned.
An animated FOX sitcom, featuring the vocal talents of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer, and Hank Azaria, The Simpsons comes from creator Matt Groening. The ageless yellow family continues to stir up the Springfield citizenry in this satirical sketch of small town Middle America.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night.

What do you think? Do you still like The Simpsons TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed beyond its 30th season on FOX? When should it end?

After The Simpsons season 30 last need end old show tired of it.
Mark 30 season last hopefully strong going infinite forever like SNL been on too long live 1980 and 1970 cult shows.
Al Jean has been talking about the 666th episode being a tree house of horror, and episode 666 is definitely not in season 30, so… definite signs that the show could very well be renewed for a 31st and 32nd season.
Ermagherd, That will make my ex wife’s cult religion even more rampant, they already upset that “Speaking in Tongues”has been featured several times … I was looking at the episode list on wkipedia and figured 666 would be a Treehouse of Horror feature.
They are ready said they’re gonna be only two seasons more and that was last year so di last season of the Simpsons stop making drama please.!
Who’s they? Fox? Fox has renewed the Simpsons until season 30. No where did Fox announce that after renewing the Simpsons to season 30 that the show would not be renewed and officially end, as your poorly worded comment implies. In the future post replies that have been proof read and well thought out,please!
