'The Simpsons' Is Officially Making Its Biggest TV Change Yet




The Simpsons has been a pillar of the TV industry for over three decades, and now the changing tides of the streaming era are finally beginning to reshape it. The Simpsons are a major selling point for Disney+, as it's the only subscription-based service where fans can binge and re-watch the iconic series. In turn, this instant availability helped restore The Simpsons' place in the public consciousness to some extent, earning the series a massive four-season renewal last year. Now, each season includes a few "Disney+ specials," which are only available on the streamer and never air on Fox. It's the clearest sign of the traditional broadcast model's decline — at least when it comes to entertainment.
