Fox Renews "The Simpsons" for Season 26
by Michael Ausiello

It’s official: "The Simpsons" will outlive us all. Fox has renewed the still-potent ‘toon for a 26th season, the network announced Friday.

Last Sunday’s Season 25 premiere ranked as the No. 1 entertainment program of the night among adults 18-49 and was up 12 percent year-over-year.

“For more than a quarter of a century, The Simpsons has captured the hearts and minds of fans in a way that transcends ages, languages and cultures,” said Fox prez Kevin Reilly.

“This groundbreaking series is not only the longest-running scripted show in television history, it’s one of the greatest sitcoms of our time, and I’m looking forward to yet another landmark season.”

Are they trying to make it to 30? I guess they have nothing else in the works.

they need to stop messing around with these silly 1 season renewals and just lock it in for the next 4 or 5 seasons at a time - we know it is coming back because it is the best show on Sunday nights and has been for the past 30 years.

Looks like they'll NEVER stop "The Simpsons"!

No, I'd rather have Season 26 be the show's final one as a first-run show. I'm not kidding. Just advertise it as the show's farewell year and give the show a proper send-off when the season concludes, story arcs or no story arcs. Forget about trying to shoot for 30; the cast and crew can always move on to other projects.
