Overview
- Disney+ announced on May 28, 2026, that it will premiere a double episode titled “Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition” on June 17, followed by “Simpsley” on July 3 and “Yellow Mirror” on Aug. 26.
- Two of the installments are anthology-style episodes and “Simpsley” is a noir pastiche modeled on The Talented Mr. Ripley, with full loglines and a trailer released by the streamer.
- The June 17 double episode features guest actor Betty Gilpin and musical appearances by Laufey and Tegan and Sara.
- The exclusives come from surplus episodes produced by 20th Television Animation after Fox shortened broadcast season orders, and Disney+ already hosts the full Simpsons collection including 37 seasons and the feature film.
- The move keeps the long-running franchise prominent on streaming, gives Disney+ fresh standalone specials to promote, and signals that more streaming-only Simpsons content is likely to continue alongside Fox’s renewal through the 2028–29 season.
