Disney Gives The Simpsons A Major Upgrade With A Rare Streaming Feature

by

Life in Springfield never seems to change, but Disney+ is offering fans a new way to enjoy The Simpsons.

Disney+ is launching a 24/7 Simpsons channel for its subscribers. This channel will play every episode of the show in the order it originally aired. While subscribers can still watch episodes on demand as usual, the channel offers a nostalgic, traditional TV experience where you can simply tune in and watch whatever’s playing (according to Deadline).

Since its launch in 2019, Disney+ has been the home for The Simpsons, currently offering the first 36 seasons. Season 37 is now airing on FOX and available on Hulu, with the finale scheduled for February 15, 2026.

The Simpsons, already the longest-running scripted television show ever, will continue through a fortieth season. First debuting on FOX on December 17, 1989, the show has aired 797 episodes to date. In addition to the series, there was also a Simpsons Movie released in 2007, and a sequel is now confirmed to be coming to theaters on July 23, 2027.

As a huge Simpsons fan, I was thrilled to see Disney+ not only had almost every episode ever made, but they’ve also given us some brand new, exclusive specials! They dropped “O C’mon All Ye Faithful” during the show’s 36th season, and then followed it up with “The Past and the Furious” and “Yellow Planet.” It’s a great time to be a Simpsons devotee!

The streaming service also revealed two new shows coming soon: “Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition,” scheduled to premiere on February 15, 2026, and “Yellow Mirror,” which appears to be a comedic take on the popular series Black Mirror, expected sometime in 2026.

Despite Disney+ offering almost every episode of The Simpsons, it’s still missing one of the most talked-about installments: the season 3 opener, “Stark Raving Dad.”

A controversial episode of the show featured Homer being committed to a mental institution simply for wearing a pink shirt. While there, he shared a room with a man named Leon Kompowsky who insisted he was Michael Jackson – and, remarkably, the pop star himself actually provided the voice for the character in an uncredited role.

After its initial broadcast, the episode aired as scheduled for a while. However, it was later removed from public access following the release of the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, which presented allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson.
