What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, The Simpsons stars the voices of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer. Now the longest-running American sitcom, the show revolves around working stiff Homer Simpson (Castellaneta), his understanding blue-haired wife Marge (Kavner), delinquent son Bart (Cartwright), intellectual daughter Lisa (Smith), infant daughter Maggie, and their Springfield relations, friends, foes, and neighbors.
Season 32 Ratings
The 32nd season of The Simpsons averaged a 0.71 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.03 million viewers. Compared to season 31, that’s down by 25% in the demo and down by 21% in viewership. Find out how The Simpsons stacks up against other FOX TV shows.
The Simpsons has been renewed through season 34. Season 33 will debut September 26, 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will FOX cancel or renew The Simpsons for season 33? When the series was renewed for seasons 31 and 32, the network picked up the series through episode 713. At the end of season 31, 684 installments had aired so that leaves 29 episodes left unaired. If FOX runs 22 installments for season 32 (though they could certainly air more because of the pandemic), that will leave seven episodes which can be included in the 33rd season. I’m confident the series will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Simpsons cancellation or renewal news.
3/4/21 update: The Simpsons has been renewed through season 34 (2022-23).

What do you think? Are you glad that The Simpsons TV show has been renewed? Do you think it’s possible that this FOX series could have been cancelled, instead?
Season 32 is generously good compared to season 33. Each of the musicalish songs are bs! I watched each season until now. From now on, I will not watch any new simpsons episode, I couldn’t finish season 33 because of the bad singing. How can you do that? If I want to watch a musical, I watch a musical. If I want to watcht the Simpsons I watch the Simpsons. Both does not go well together. RIP
Keep them going with new episodes on Sundays like way back when at 8pm. Hate waiting over a month sometimes for a new episode to come out. The writers are getting lazy. I now watch them with my kids who are also adults now…43 years old and I’ve been watching the Simpsons since I was in 5th grade. Lol “Ugly Laugh” Comedy.
The Simpsons must live on forever and to hell with everyone that wants it to end every have a good day except for the ones that hate the Simpsons
Let die and end old show should be final season.
We need more seasons now
I’d like to see another 30+ seasons. The simpsons has been around since a couple years before I was born. I’d like to see it stay around for life. Plus it’s cool how it oddly predicts things years in the future.
Need to be end
This sucks season original 1-10 was the best super funny love it. Please cancelled awful need to died.
It’s more accurate to say seasons 1 to 8 were the best (though I felt the quality and tone started to slip in season 7 and 8, and especially by season 9). Season 10 and beyond are just plain trash.
I haven’t watched The Simpsons since season 22, and don’t plan to ever again, other than rewatching seasons 1 through 9.
Need to end awful not funny anymore.
