“The Simpsons” returns for its 34th season this Sunday, and after more than three decades on air, the iconic animated sitcom is still promising a lot of firsts. Homer will lose a hair, Millhouse will get contact lenses and, perhaps most exciting, there will be two “Treehouse of Horror” episodes on Halloween. This season will also include the 750th episode of the show.
Of course, some things will stay the same: Bart will celebrate his 10th birthday for the 33rd time.
The series, which was renewed through Season 34 in 2021, is the longest-running primetime sitcom in television history. Throughout its time on air, the show has garnered 34 Emmy Awards and even an Academy Award nomination in 2012 for its theatrical short “The Longest Daycare,” which is now available to stream on Disney+.
Season 34 of “The Simpsons” will premiere on Fox on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. ET. The 22-episode season will release new episodes every week through the spring of 2023.
