Disney+ Says "Simpsons Forever"; TBS Orders 4th Season of The Last O.G.

Simpsons Forever

Disney+, which launched last November giving The Simpsons a new streaming home, is now the ultimate entertainment hub for fans of Springfields most famous residents. With the recently added 31st season and nearly 300 hours of the worlds longest running scripted primetime sitcom, on Friday Disney+ kicked off its new "Simpsons Forever" brand campaign celebrating the forever place of everyone's favorite family in the hearts and homes of fans around the world. The service also debuted "The Simpsons Horror" collection, including 30 episodes of the iconic genre-bending "Treehouse of Horror" franchise. The new collection is the latest in Disney+'s series of themed sets including "The Simpsons Predicts," "The Simpsons Travels," "The Simpsons Rock" and "The Simpsons Sports" collections. As part of the "Simpsons Forever" campaign, Disney+ will curate more collections of episodes for new viewers to discover. Every month, Disney+ will also highlight its favorite episodes themed to current events and trends in Disney and pop culture.

After first premiering on television nearly 31 years ago, The Simpsons is now one of the most popular franchises around the world and remains one of Disney+'s most streamed series since the service launched last November. With its "Simpsons Forever" campaign, Disney+ is celebrating fans' forever love of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie and the service's comprehensive collection of The Simpsons entertainment. The campaign will come to life all year long with on-service content and product updates, special events, social activations, and surprise and delight moments. Last week, Disney+ surprised guests at the Disney+ Drive-In Festival with special The Simpsons screenings during its nightly lineups. And earlier this year, the service launched a product update allowing fans to enjoy The Simpsons episodes in their original aspect ratio and also offered the short "Maggie Simpson in 'Playdate with Destiny'" across its social channels for free.

To watch all of The Simpsons content on Disney+ including 31 seasons of the series, animated shorts "Maggie Simpsons in 'The Longest Daycare'" and "Maggie Simpson in 'Play date with Destiny,'" and The Simpsons Movie, visit DisneyPlus.com/SimpsonsForever.
