List of episodes

The thirty-sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons premiered on Fox on September 29, 2024.[1] This is the second of two seasons ordered by Fox. It is produced by Gracie Films and 20th Television Animation. The primary showrunner for the season is Matt Selman.

## Production

[edit]

In January 2023, it was announced that the series had been renewed for the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth seasons.[2] Executive producer Matt Selman continued his role as primary showrunner, a role he had since the thirty-third season.[3][4] Selman had previously been the showrunner for several episodes each season since the twenty-third season.[4]

In July 2024, at San Diego Comic-Con, Selman recorded the screaming of the Simpsons panel audience to be used in the season's Treehouse of Horror episode. In addition, a followup episode to the seventh season episode "22 Short Films About Springfield" was announced. A second Treehouse of Horror episode is also planned to be broadcast this season, titled "Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes". The episode will feature three segments parodying stories by Ray Bradbury. Series creator Matt Groening stated that Bradbury criticized the show in the press after the series premiered because it borrowed from an episode of The Twilight Zone that he wrote.[3] The season contains 11 holdover episodes from the previous season.[citation needed]

In August 2024, at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, it was announced that four episodes would premiere exclusively on Disney+. One of the episodes will be a two-part Christmas special entitled "O C'mon All Ye Faithful", with two other episodes "The Past and the Furious" and "Yellow Planet" also being planned to premiere on the streaming network.[5]

Guest stars announced for the season include former series writer Conan O'Brien, John Cena, Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian, Kaley Cuoco, David Spade, Kevin Farley, Danny DeVito, Tom Hanks, and Andy Serkis.[3]
