The Simpsons is currently in the midst of its 33rd season. Back in March, the show celebrated two notable milestones – hitting 700 episodes and being renewed through season 34, which will hit the small screen in 2023. Considering this string of successes, Jean says he’s doubtful The Simpsons will come to an end any time soon, a testament, in part, to the Walt Disney Company, Springfield and co’s new mousey-overlord, which came into the IP after it acquired 21st Century Fox and the majority of its assets back in December 2017.
“To be honest, the talk of ending, especially as we’re doing really well on Disney+ in the U.S. and the U.K. and other countries in the Americas,” he explained. “I don’t see anybody going, ‘Let’s wrap it up, or figure out how to get out of it’ at the moment.”
So when can we expect The Simpsons to finally come to an end? Well, according to Jean, the show’s inevitable demise may come around the 1,000 episode mark, an achievement that he says he calculated, and will likely happen in roughly 12-seasons time. “I’ll just be saying, I’ll be very happy to be here in 12 seasons’ time,” he added, noting that reaching the big 1-0-0-0 is “not just a hop, skip and a jump. It’s a little further than that.”
