The Simpsons fans rejoice as our requests have been heard! As we can't get enough of the animated comedy starring our favorite family and their quirky friends in Springfield, Disney+ upped their game by having The Simpsons have their very own live stream channel!
Think of it when FXX did their The Simpsons nonstop marathon that ran for nearly two weeks back in 2014. The network acquired syndication rights to the show, and as it was still a fresh cable channel, it needed content to fill its airtime. The Simpsons was the perfect solution to the problem and made TV history once again with a first-of-its-kind marathon.
With the Disney+ Non-stop Playlist Stream, The Simpsons will never encounter any breaks or stops. It'll just keep rotating every episode from season 1 to season 35. Currently, half of season 36 is available on Hulu and Disney+ if you have the bundle.
A near 300 hours of The Simpsons is streaming live on Disney+
I'm writing this in real time, as The Simpsons' Live Stream already began on March 18th, but as I was on a work trip in Boston at the time, didn't get the notice until now. That said, let's continue with what you need to know about the Stream.
Duff and Donuts acquired the press release of The Simpsons' Live Stream. It includes details about the Disney+ ongoing event and how Streams could bring more subscribers to the platform. Each day, Disney+ is expanding its catalog for adults and kids alike, as various content will pique your interest.
Gable Lewis, the SVP of Programming and Content Curation of Disney+, revealed what The Simpsons stream could do for the streamer and how fans have requested it since the beginning.
"From day one, the fans have asked for a Stream of The Simpsons, and we’re happy to oblige. Streams on Disney+ have been a fantastic go-to experience for subscribers looking to sit back and relax with their favorite shows and movies, and we look forward to evolving the user experience and expanding the offering with more Streams to more subscribers later this year."
The Simpsons showrunner, Matt Selman, additionally added his input of his how being readily available at anytime with the Stream. I guess you could have the near-identical effect with watching The Simpsons identical episodes, but without the option of picking and choosing.
"The Simpons Stream will deliver a Simpsons marathon all day, every day, no matter when you tune in, this ultimate Simpsons binge will be there."
In order to watch The Simpsons Live Stream, subscribers must have the Disney+ Premium plan, which starts at $19.99 and has zero ads, with a few exceptions according to a particular show's guidelines.
Season 36 will continue on Sunday, March 30th at 8 PM EST/7 PM CST on Fox and will lead Animation Domination, replacing Family Guy.
