Overview
- Fox aired the show’s 800th episode on February 15, extending its run as the longest‑running U.S. primetime animated series.
- Showrunner Matt Selman says the series will not produce a traditional farewell, pointing to Season 36’s parody “finale” as the team’s definitive take on such endings.
- Selman adds that if the show ever ends, the last installment would be a routine, self‑contained episode with possible Easter eggs rather than a send‑off.
- An exclusive, darker couch gag premiered on Hulu and Disney+ after the broadcast, offering a streaming‑specific extra not shown on Fox.
- The franchise remains active with renewals through Season 40 and a feature‑film sequel in development for a planned 2027 theatrical release.
