FOX Entertainment has announced that it has locked in early two-year renewals for three hit shows from Disney’s 20th Television Animation, “The Simpsons”, “Family Guy”, and “Bob’s Burgers”.

The three FOX Animation Domination fan-favourite series — all produced by Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television Animation — have each received two additional seasons, continuing their long-time runs on FOX through the 2024-25 broadcast cycle. The renewals guarantee Seasons 14 and 15 for “Bob’s Burgers”, the 22nd and 23rd Seasons of “Family Guy” and the record-setting 35th and 36th Seasons for “The Simpsons”, extending its standing as the longest-running scripted series in television history.

Michael Thorn, President, Scripted Programming for FOX Entertainment, said in a statement:

“With this trio of renewals, we celebrate excellence in animation on FOX, our wonderful, long-time partnership with 20th Television and the brilliant creators and incredible voices behind these forever favorites.  Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics.”

Marci Proietto, EVP of 20th Television Animation added:

“Across 750 episodes of The Simpsons, 400 episodes of Family Guy, and 250 episodes of Bob’s Burgers, we couldn’t be more proud to continue delivering these three animated hits with the most brilliant teams in animation. Our relationship with FOX over the past three decades has allowed this trio of shows to thrive, grow and deliver immeasurable moments of hilarious and irreverent entertainment for fans, and we are absolutely thrilled that FOX is doubling down on each of these iconic shows.”

FOX is home to the longest-running primetime animation block in television history, featuring the reigning first families of animation, the Simpsons, the Griffins and the Belchers. The Simpsons, Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers currently rank among the Top 10 comedies for the 2022-23 Season, marking The Simpsons’ fourth, Family Guy’s fifth and Bob’s Burger’s second consecutive season topping the list. In addition, Family Guy ranks as FOX’s most-streamed program on record and continues the trend this season, averaging 5.1 million P2+ viewers.

All of these shows are also available on Hulu in the United States, with “The Simpsons” being one of the most-watched shows on Disney+.  Internationally, all three shows are available on Disney+, and in many countries, including Canada, Australia and in the UK, new seasons are exclusive to Disney+.
