The Simpsons – Welcome to Disney+ (Promo)
General editor of the variety
As “The Simpsons” prepares to debut its 36th season on Fox this fall, that won’t be the only place to catch new episodes of the long-running animated series. The executive producers behind “The Simpsons” revealed Saturday at the D23 convention in Anaheim that four new episodes will air exclusively on Disney+ this upcoming season.
The new episodes include a new two-part holiday-themed series, “O Come All Ye Faithful,” premiering Dec. 17 — timed to the 35th anniversary of the very first “Simpsons” episode, the similarly holiday-focused “Simpsons Roasting Over An Open Fire” in 1989.
