The Simpsons continues to be the longest running primetime scripted series in television history with its renewal for seasons 35 and 36, according to Deadline.
President of Scripted Programming for Fox Entertainment Michael Thorn tells Deadline, “With this trio of renewals, we celebrate excellence in animation on Fox, our wonderful, longtime partnership with 20th Television and the brilliant creators and incredible voices behind these forever favorites. Three-plus decades of The Simpsons, more than two decades of Family Guy and over a decade of Bob’s Burgers proves the enduring power of the animation genre on our network and the infinite fan affinity for these outrageously funny comedy classics.”

The cast includes Dan Castellaneta (Super 8, Space Jam), Nancy Cartwright (Godzilla, Rugrats), Julie Kavner (Click, Hannah and Her Sisters), and Yeardley Smith (Maximum Overdrive, As Good as It Gets).

The cast includes Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Sing), Alex Borstein (Bad Santa, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Seth Green (The Italian Job, Robot Chicken), and Mila Kunis (Black Swan, Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

Jon Benjamin (Archer, Not Another Teen Movie), Dan Mintz (Veep, The Goldbergs), Eugene Mirman (Delocated, Eugene!), John Roberts (Gravity Falls, Fire Island), and Kristen Schaal (Gravity Falls, The Muppets).
All three series currently hold spots among the top ten comedies for the 2022-2023 seasons, with Family Guy’s fifth, The Simpsons’ fourth, and Bob’s Burgers second consecutive season on the list, via Deadline.
EVP of 20th Television Animation Marci Proietto tells Deadline,“Across 750 episodes of The Simpsons, 400 episodes of Family Guy, and 250 episodes of Bob’s Burgers, we couldn’t be more proud to continue delivering these three animated hits with the most brilliant teams in animation. Our relationship with Fox over the past three decades has allowed this trio of shows to thrive, grow and deliver immeasurable moments of hilarious and irreverent entertainment for fans, and we are absolutely thrilled that Fox is doubling down on each of these iconic shows.”
