New Simpsons Specials for Disney+

The first of three new Simpsons episodes exclusive to Disney+ lands today.

They join previous exclusives Yellow Planet, The Past and the Furious and O C’Mon All Ye Faithful as part of The Simpsons Collection.

According to Deadline, “The Simpsons and Family Guy started making exclusive episodes for Disney+ and Hulu, where their respective libraries are housed, when the series’ longtime broadcast network Fox started ordering shorter seasons.

“The show’s studio, 20th Television Animation, kept the annual output relatively steady, diverting the surplus episodes to its streaming platforms.”

The new episodes will land a month apart (view the trailer):
