The Simpsons officially brought a new season of the animated series to an end, and the showrunner behind it all has dropped the first details about what’s coming in Season 37. The Simpsons recently celebrated its 35th anniversary with Season 36 making its debut last year. This newest season started with some big changes for the characters as it addressed its own potential series finale head on, and it came to an end with an even bigger tease of what could be happening in Bart and Lisa’s future. But that’s far from the end of the long running franchise as it’s already preparing for its next season.

The Simpsons has been officially renewed for not only Season 37, but three additional seasons to take it all the way through at least Season 40. Speaking to Cracked, The Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman dropped a big tease for what’s to come in the new season. Alongside teasing some of the characters who will be getting spotlights of their own in the coming season, there’s also a tease of more Disney+ exclusive episodes hitting in the near future too.
The Simpsons Teases Season 37 Episodes
“We’re having fun digging deeper into the side characters,” Selman began as he teased what’s coming in The Simpsons‘ next big season. “We’re doing a Chalmers episode where he becomes a manosphere kind of guru selling male beauty products. We have a really terrific Lisa and Marge show about the culture of thrifting that’s so popular with the kids. Another side character we get deep into is Professor Frink. We have a little bit of his emotional backstory — that’s exciting. There’s one about the Quimby family. We get deep into their backstory in a very creative way. Then we have another batch of three more Disney+ exclusives.”
These ideas tease the kind of character explorations that have made Season 36’s episodes such a hit with fans. Nearly each week there was some kind of big reveal going down, and it looks like the next season is going to have just as much to dig through. As for the new Disney+ exclusive episodes, Selman teased they’ll be going more experimental than seen in the original series, “We’re going to have one episode with two distinct stories in it, both distinct, kind of dystopian stories. There’s also another one in the Cesar Mazariegos Fargo-type streaming parody, but not Fargo, a different world.”
