Four never-before-seen episodes will stream this season exclusively for Disney+ subscribers; the longest-running animated series premieres October 2.
The release date was announced during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event by a panel including Matt Groening, Matt Selman, Al Jean, Mike Price, Brian Kelley, David Silverman and Nancy Cartwright. The group also shared that four never-before-seen episodes of the series will be made available exclusively to Disney+ subscribers.
Included in the four episodes will be a special Christmas-themed double episode premiering December 17, timed to the 35th anniversary of the series' original Christmas special. The four exclusive episodes, titled The Past and the Furious, Yellow Planet, and O C'mon All Ye Faithful will debut in the months ahead.
This October, Disney+ will also stream an exclusive new Halloween-themed short from The Simpsons.
