Fox’s landmark animated comedy The Simpsons has officially secured a major multi-season extension, extending its groundbreaking television run through Season 40 and into 2029. Already holding the title of the longest-running American animated series and scripted primetime show in TV history, Springfield’s favorite family shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
While speculation continues to swirl about whether Season 40 could mark a natural ending point for the legendary series, creative leads have poured cold water on formal retirement plans. Addressing The Simpsons season 40 renewed 2029 milestone, producers clarified that the order simply locks in four additional seasons rather than serving as a planned farewell.
“The Simpsons has been renewed through Season 40, keeping new episodes in production through the 2028–2029 broadcast season, though showrunners maintain there is no end in sight.”
With adjusted episode counts moving forward, the show will continue delivering classic primetime broadcasts alongside exclusive Disney+ specials as it approaches its fourth decade.
