Disney+ Will Stream Three New Exclusive Simpsons Episodes This Summer

The move signals Disney+'s push to keep The Simpsons in its adult‑animation lineup by releasing themed specials only on the streamer.

Overview

  • Disney+ announced on Thursday that it will exclusively release three new Simpsons installments this summer: a double episode on June 17 and single episodes on July 3 and August 26.
  • The June 17 double‑episode is titled “Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition” and follows Marge imagining alternate versions of Homer after a date night goes wrong.
  • “Simpsley,” premiering July 3, is framed as a Simpsons noir set in Italy that centers on con‑artist Marge and a Homer lookalike; “Yellow Mirror,” due August 26, parodies tech dystopia with an AI subplot involving Maggie.
  • Betty Gilpin will guest in the June release and musical acts Laufey and Tegan and Sara are credited, illustrating the episodes’ use of high‑profile talent and genre playfulness.
  • The releases continue Disney+’s recent pattern of streaming‑only Simpsons specials and sit alongside Fox’s renewal of the series through 2028–29, a distribution shift that changes who can watch new Simpsons content immediately.
