Production

In January 2023, it was announced that the series had been renewed for the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth seasons.^[24] Executive producer Matt Selman continued his role as primary showrunner, a role he had since the thirty-third season.^[3][25] Selman had previously been the showrunner for several episodes each season since the twenty-third season.^[25] Executive producer Al Jean also served as showrunner for several episodes this season.^[26]

In July 2024, at San Diego Comic-Con, Selman recorded the screaming of the Simpsons panel audience to be used in the season's Treehouse of Horror episode. In addition, a followup episode to the seventh season episode "22 Short Films About Springfield" was announced. A second Treehouse of Horror episode was also broadcast this season, titled "Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes". The episode featured three segments parodying stories by Ray Bradbury. Series creator Matt Groening stated that Bradbury criticized the show in the press after the series premiered because it borrowed from an episode of The Twilight Zone that he wrote.^[3] The season contained eleven holdover episodes from the previous season with seven for Fox and four for Disney+.^[27][28]

In August 2024, at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, it was announced that four episodes would premiere exclusively on Disney+.^[29] Selman said that for both the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth production seasons, 18 episodes were ordered by Fox and 4 episodes were ordered by Disney.^[28] One of the episodes was a two-part Christmas special entitled "O C'mon All Ye Faithful", with two other episodes "The Past and the Furious" and "Yellow Planet" premiering on the streaming network.^[29] Selman said that the producers have agreed to most of Disney's asks for collaboration such as the real-time Simpsons animated version of the December 9, 2024 presentation of Monday Night Football. He also noted that the cross-promotional efforts required cooperation with Fox since the network controlled the show's social media accounts.^[28]

In November 2024, it was announced that Pamela Hayden, who had been the voice of Milhouse and several other characters since 1989, would be retiring from voice acting, and her final acting credit on the Fox broadcasts would be for "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes". Fox said that recasting for her characters would "begin in the near future".^[30] Hayden continued to feature in the Disney+ episodes as part of this season.^[31] In April 2025, it was announced that comedian Mo Collins would take over the role of bully Jimbo Jones, beginning with "P.S. I Hate You".^[32] On May 16, 2025, it was announced that singer Kelly Macleod would be taking over as Milhouse, beginning with the season finale, "Estranger Things".^[33]

Reception

Critical response

John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber gave the season an 8 out of 10. He liked the guest star performances and highlighted Joseph Gordon-Levitt as young Mr. Burns, but he was concerned about how the replacement actors will perform following Pamela Hayden's retirement. He thought the writing quality was mixed, but liked the episodes focused on Ned Flanders. He wanted future seasons to focus more on social commentary, character depth, and jokes involving the show's parent company.^[34]
