'The Simpsons' Renewed for "Excellent" Seasons 31 and 32
Helping make the case that the inevitable Treehouse of Horror CCCLXXXVII should have a story called "The Animated Series That Would Not Die!," FOX's long-running The Simpsons has been renewed for two seasons – extending the series run for 31st and 32nd seasons – for a total of 713 episodes, strengthening its claim to the title of longest-running primetime scripted show in television history.
With voice cast in place, the two-season renewal means The Simpsons will still be a part of FOX programming even after show producer 20th Century FOX TV moves to Disney as part of the "The Mouse's" $71.3 billion acquisition deal. From an animation slate standpoint, all three veteran series are set to return: Family Guy will be back for two seasons, while Bob's Burgers is good for at least one more season.
FOX's The Simpsons is produced by Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television, with James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, and Al Jean serving as executive producers. The Gracie Films Worldwide Brand Division develops and produces the licensed content for the series.

● January 13's episode "The Girl on the Bus" had a 3.5 L7 rating among adults 18-49, making it the highest-rated episode of any scripted series in that demo for Fox this year.
